"... I like to go through the process of tempering [chocolate]." I've never had tempered chocolate on a rocky road and now I must make this tomorrow. Thank you for another enlightening tutorial!
Great video as always Stephanie! I was curious what type of chocolate you use in your videos. More specifically, which brand and do you prefer a bittersweet or a semisweet chocolate? Thanks
Hiya I don't know but when I asked the store owner for the best chocolate he gave me this bar of real dark chocolate and when I tasted it. It sort of taste a bit acidic sour and a bit bitter is it suppose to be like that? Thanks
Never knew there was a thermometer for Chocolate. I learned the old fashioned way of melting chocolate in a double boiler and is still my method. I have never tempered chocolate. I get it to just the melted stage and done. Sometimes I don't even let all the chips melt. I like it that way too. Texture.....
Yes, you don't have to temper the chocolate to make Rocky Road. It won't taste any different. However, tempering chocolate brings it back to how it was before you melted it, that is, shiny and glossy with that nice snap when you break it.
That looks SO amazing. I've heard that very slowly melting chocolate in the microwave (30 seconds, then 10 second increments) can prevent the temper from breaking, because you can keep it under 90 degrees. Just an extra tip! Thanks for all your posts! I made your Irish Soda Bread for St. Patrick's day, and it was so delicious. I got a lot of compliments. From my German friends no less, and they really know their bread! ^_^
Thank you for the lovely video re tempering chocolate!! I tried this once for dipping peanut butter balls, and the resounding "click" is so satisfying! :)
You keep saying that cheking temperature is the most important but I would have checked a billion times more than you! you have trained feelings of the chocolate!:-P
The good part about this recipe, is that you don't have to temper the chocolate, and you can even use store bought marshmallows. If you do it that way then the recipe is really easy. The only thing is that if you don't temper the chocolate, then you need to store the rocky road in the refrigerator. Otherwise after a few days the chocolate will get a white bloom on the surface. You can still eat it, but it just doesn't look as good.

I love watching you demonstrations. You explain the best and I've made a couple of your recipes and they've all came out awesome. You rule, Stephanie!
For the Rocky Road I use a semi sweet chocolate with a 55 - 60% cacao content.

Hi Stephanie,that the great recipes,I live in Puerto Rico but I loved your channel. Thanks
For this recipe I used Guittard 61% which I would call a semi sweet chocolate that's not too sweet.
You're my favourite youtube baker. Thanks for all these great videos!
I've always been too intimidated to try tempering chocolate, but I will try after watching this excellent demonstration. Thanks.
Miss Stephanie my dentist thanks you!
I have politely "borrowed" your recipe on many occasions.
Yes, it is satisfying.

Hi, Stephanie. Can I use any kind of chocolate, or does it specifically have to be "baking" chocolate?

I made it, and like you've said it'd never stay that long in my house either. Thank you for sharing.
I love that your baking sheet looks like mine! ;)

Shall I use chocolate with cocoa butter or compound chocolate?
When I make Rocky Road, I always use a good quality semi sweet chocolate.
just add glitter instead of tempering hAHAHAAHH

Could you add some corn syrup and/or some butter to add the sheen?
If the chocolate is tempered it does have a sheen.
now I know why the shine. Thank You!
YUM I AM PLANNING ON MAKING THIS!THIS LOOKS SUPER YUMMY:)
Is this how they make rocky road ice creme?
Thank you for the lovely video re tempering chocolate!! I tried this once for dipping peanut butter balls, and the resounding "click" is so satisfying! :)

*Stephanie
you look A LOT like Linette Scavo (I can't for the life of me remember the name of the actress) from desperate housewives.
She looks and sounds like her. The actress is: Felicity Huffman. I thought the exact same thing. To me she sounds exactly like her.
You keep saying that cheking temperature is the most important but I would have checked a billion times more than you! you have trained feelings of the chocolate!:-P
I lost my temper trying to make this recipe.
Looks like an all day project with a 60% chance of failure.

Understood. Appreciate the additional clarity since we are bare bones beginners.
yay...first
