My easy Rolo Rocky Road makes for a quick and easy no bake chocolate treat. Packed with marshmallows, roasted peanuts and loads of chocolate caramel Rolos, it’s the best rocky road I’ve ever had.
Rolo. Rocky. Road. ❤️
That’s right friends. You heard correctly. This right here 👆🏻 is a 6 ingredient chocolate treat that you are going to LOVE.
There’s chocolate, there’s marshmallows, there’s peanuts, OH and chocolate caramel ROLOS! Because #yolo
Hi from San Francisco friends! *waves* We have just made our way from Los Angeles to San Francisco on what was an absolutely stunning road trip. The coastline of California was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. Love to show you photos very soon!
We are now enjoying a couple of days in San Francisco. I can’t wait to tell you about all the mouthwatering treats we have eaten already!
But right now we need to talk about this Rolo Rocky Road. Can you even? I mean talk about an over-the-top downright delicious dessert. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing because chocolate caramel is my weakness.
And when you combine chocolate and caramel with rocky road, you get one sweet treat. Plus it’s a cinch to make – just the way we like things around here.
If you’ve been around here for a little while, you’d know I have a bit of thing for rocky road. I’ve made Smores Rocky Road (still one of my all-time favourites), Cookies and Cream Rocky Road and Easter Egg Rocky Road, oh and Rocky Road Chocolate Fudge!
But this Rolo Rocky Road is my new favourite. The base is a mix of milk and dark chocolate with mini marshmallows, salted peanuts, crushed cookies AND Rolos. It’s crunchy, creamy and oh-so-gooey. You Are Welcome! x

Carolyn says
Can you make it with no peanuts,my grandkids are allergic to them ? Can you help me
Jessica Holmes says
Absolutely! You could use another nut instead (almonds, macadamias etc.) or something else like candy, dried fruit, choc chips etc.
Viv says
Made this tonight, so easy.
I substituted peanuts for glacé cherries & the first half of putting rolo’s in I cut in half which made it so scrummy when eating as all the caramel just floods out.
Fantastic recipe , loved it.

hi Jessica….i made mine with a white choc topping second layer over the brown which made the rolo stand out beautifully… i normally add pink turkish delite to the top as customers love it that way but rolo for a change is cool…i also use TIM TAMMS in the center as they are amazing biscuits, easy to cut threw… and a tin of condensed milk into the chocolate mix makes mine a little softer which customers prefer…chilly salt between the layers of chocolate is a great surprise addition that is unexpected but breaks the sweetness…. kind regards

Jessica Holmes says
Wow! Sounds like you really know your way around rocky road – I love the idea of using a layer of white chocolate. And Tim Tams – great idea! So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Kate says
Hi. Can this be frozen!? 😁
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Kate, I don’t see why not but you would want to thaw it before you serve it ☺️
Kste says
Thankyou so much for your reply.. 😁
Sharon says
Absolutely delicious… so easy to make aswell.
I didn’t get any rolos so used a caramel chocolate bar and put some rice cripies in too… so so simple and gorgeous xx
Jessica Holmes says
Amazing! Thanks for the lovely feedback Sharon! Adding Rice Krispies is brilliant! ☺️
Claire Knight says
Amazing 💕
I had to substitute the peanuts for dried cranberries as I was making them for my sons scout camp but next time I’m definitely putting in the peanuts
★★★★★
Jessica Holmes says
So glad you enjoyed it Claire! The peanuts so add a nice crunch 😉
Rachel says
Someone mentioned to me the other day that they always put pretzels in their rocky road – could also be a good substitute for peanuts as it has similar crunch/salt factor
Jessica Holmes says
Great idea Rachel!
Janet says
I am making this for mr Rolo crazy friend😀 Is is bets to make it eh day of or do you think it can be made a few days ahead if well wrapped and kept in fridge?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Janet! You can definitely make this ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Hope your friend enjoys it! 😊
Janet says
Just wanted to let you know this was amazing. I did make it several days ahead, wrapped tight in fridge, you would never had known. Everyone loved it , ridiculously easy to throw together! Good quality chocolate is key. I will make one addition and add some course salt to the top next time (that’s just me, love some salt with my chocolate)!

Jessica Holmes says
Thanks Aria! I hope you enjoy them 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Wanda says
He this sounds amazing what kind of chocolate,do I use chocolate morsels in a bag ?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Wanda, I would recommend using either a block of chocolate or melting chocolate, chocolate chips are designed to hold their shape when heated so they aren’t the best for melting. Hope that helps!
