Red Velvet Rocky Road

My kids loved this recipe. I think it was the "red" chocolate that they found so alluring. Most of the colored Candy Melts taste like white chocolate or vanilla in the homemade Valentine's Day candy recipes I share. Technically, white chocolate is not chocolate but vanilla-flavored cocoa butter. Fine with me!

I'm not a real fan of dark chocolate and have always preferred white chocolate. This recipe is so easy you kids could make it for their school Valentine's Day party or as a gift for the teacher.
