I need to warn you guys.
Over the course of the next month you're going to hear me talk a lot about Brett's family coming to visit.
I may be just a little excited...
okay, a whole freakin' lot excited!!
Brett's parents and sister and her entire family, including husband and three kids, are coming to visit us over Christmas and New Years and Brett and I are counting down the days. I remember when it became official that they were going to visit over 6 months ago and now we're just over a month away.
Time is flying!
This past week, Brett's mom, sister and I had the "food" conversation where we tried to plan some meals and snacks for while they're here. Cooking and shopping in China is no easy feat. You have to walk or taxi everywhere and all the modern, ready-made conveniences of America aren't available. If you don't want to eat every meal at a restaurant (which we definitely don't), then some planning needs to happen.
Brett's family didn't want me to be stressed and feel like I had to prep a bunch of food before they arrive, but I would be stressed if I didn't prepare anything. Plus, cooking for people, especially family, is my favorite thing to do so I couldn't be happier to have some snack and meal ideas that I can prepare in advance!
About these vegan rocky road bars
These 4 Ingredient Vegan Rocky Road Bars are definitely going to be in our fridge for when they get here. I couldn't believe how easy and amazing these bars were. They came together in a flash and can be stored for ages. I love the contrasting textures of the soft, chewy marshmallows and the crunchy, salty peanuts. And you can never go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter, can you?
A little bite of the 4 Ingredient Vegan Rocky Road Bars goes a long way, so this recipe made quite a few smaller servings, but feel free to cut the bars into larger squares too!
Please let me know if you give these amazingly simple and delicious 4 Ingredient Vegan Rocky Road Bars a try! And if you do, don't forget to take a picture and tag #theconscientiouseater on Instagram so I can see how they turned out!

Equipment
Ingredients

This is super amazing. According to my family and my mother, I have to continuously make these 🤣, question for you. Have you tried making these with Almonds also?

So happy you loved them! And almonds would be amazing...any mix-ins you like with chocolate would work well!

I don't know, I have a feeling I could plow through the whole batch pretty darn fast! The textural contrast with rocky road things is so good...mmm I am already imagining the chocolate meets marshmallow meets nutty sweet bite 🙂
Faith says
I know! I love desserts with ALL the textures! Thanks Natalie!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Ah! This is why I still need to make mini marshmallows! I've made fluff, but I need vegan/soy-free mini "formed" marshmallows!
Faith says
Oh my goodness, you've made fluff!? Genius!
