- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. This mixture will create the rich and creamy chocolate foundation for your rocky road.
- Microwave and Melt: Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy, ensuring even melting without burning.

- Chill to Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for 2 hours or until the rocky road delight is firm enough to cut.
- Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve this delightful treat at room temperature or slightly chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes

- You can substitute almonds with other nuts like pecans or hazelnuts depending on preference.
- For added texture, try mixing in dried fruits like cherries or cranberries.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
