Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly for 3-5 minutes, but not too much or it will start to set.
Gently fold in mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chopped pecans (or walnuts) until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars are firm and set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place them on a cutting board.
Cut the rocky road into 16 squares or desired portions. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
