Annabelle’s Rocky Road S’Mores
It’s absolutely obvious that the Rocky Road line of bars should have a S’Mores variety. The bar comes in a bronzy mylar wrapper, it’s kind of hard to tell apart from the Dark Chocolate Rocky Road from a distance, so I almost grabbed the wrong one when I went out to find more.
The bar smells nicely of marshmallow (basically vanilla and sugar) with an hint of the cereal quality of graham crackers. The bar bends and pulls apart very easily. The marshmallow is pillowy and sticky and though the chocolate sticks well to it, it’s rather a thin coating. The chocolate is very sweet, but melts quickly and gives a creamy component to bind the flavors together. The graham center is interesting, it’s more like a hearty digestive biscuit than a traditional grocery store graham cracker. It’s not sweet, though could use a little pop of salt. The marshmallow is soft and easy to bite, sticky but not really flavorful on its own. It’s so airy, it’s almost a meringue. I wanted the graham cracker to be crunchier, crisper. It kind of hides in there, where I feel like it should have more of a texture contribution. The bars don’t travel well, they’re easily smashed, though really look no different even when pristine. The rocky part of the rocky road, the nuts, are small bits and don’t do much for me either. It’s unheard of for a commercial candy bar to even have cashews, which are expensive. So, I’ll accept that they’re subtle rocks. Overall ... my favorite of the Rocky Road line. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Oh, but you have to try the mint version! That is the stuff of mint chocolate-loving dreams.
I haven’t even heard of this line before, I’ll have to try it out. But marshmellow shouldn’t be vanilla-ish at all, that’s rather disappointing.
I used to love Rocky Road. Unfortunately, they changed them and made them thinner, and without that thin layer of chocolate in the middle of the marshmallow. They are still pretty good, though, but they are difficult to find up here in Alaska.
