I just finished a Rocky Road candy thing...and wondered how they were made. It's quite easy actually - marshmallows and chocolate and some pecans - but got diverted by one recipe in which you make your own marshmallows. Like many people, I just thought they came from some mysterious factory! But they are actually ancient (originating in Egypt I think) and surprisingly easy to make. Once you make them, you can eat them plain or dip them in chocolate (which is what brings us back to the Rocky Road candy thing - I call it a thing because it looks like a pastry the way it is cut but is gooey like candy...well, here is a page which has a delicious looking plate of marshmallows which I thought I might share with you all. [let me know if anyone tries this recipe!
