Rocky Road Clusters are a delicious, chocolatey sweet treat that’s easy to make in just 20 minutes! This classic flavor combination of walnuts, marshmallows, and chocolate is taken to a whole new level when you add butterscotch. With the perfect balance of sweet and salty, this rocky road recipe makes a great gift to friends and the ideal treat to movie or game nights.

There’s nothing better than a good ‘No-Bake’ dessert! Whether you’re cooking with your kids, scrambling to get ready for a potluck, or you’re just in the mood for something sweet, these quick and easy rocky roads are the answer!

Now, you can make this recipe into peanut clusters if you’d like, but personally, I think the taste of the walnuts is really what puts these Rocky Roads over the top. The flavor of the melted butterscotch complements the walnuts beautifully, not to mention that crunchy texture just melts in your mouth with the chocolate.

When my sons were younger, I would make these treats for all kinds of occasions throughout the year. They make terrific gifts for teacher appreciation day, the end of a school year, or a get-well present, but they’re also perfect to make with your family for block parties or movie nights.
