Reverse Rocky Road puts a different spin on rocky road. Instead of milk or dark chocolate, this recipe uses white chocolate, and instead of vanilla marshmallows, it calls for chocolate marshmallows. I've added some toasted coconut to the recipe too, in addition to chopped nuts, to give it a light tropical flavor.

What's better than regular rocky road? How about rocky road made with three different types of marshmallows?

Rocky Road Meringues feature a vanilla-scented meringue shell, filled with chocolate ganache and topped with a sprinkling of toasted nuts. The best part of this candy is the interplay of textures: the outer layer of meringue stays crisp, while the inner part softens into the rich chocolate filling, and the nuts on top add a wonderful crunch.
