This Clinkers Rocky Road really is the only rocky road recipe you’ll ever need! It’s made from milk chocolate, raspberry lollies, marshmallows and Clinkers… and it will be ready in 10 minutes!!
Rocky road is an absolute lifesaver when you need a last-minute dessert or foodie gift! It takes no time at all to make, plus it tastes amazing. This Clinkers Rocky Road is the best thing ever… it has all the usual yummy rocky road ingredients, but with the addition of Clinkers (because Clinkers make everything SO much better!).
For this particular recipe, I didn’t add in any nuts. However, you can definitely add in some roasted peanuts, almonds or macadamias if you like – just make sure you cut down slightly on the Clinkers and raspberries.
The trick to a really, really good rocky road is the perfect chocolate to add-ins ratio. If you don’t have enough melted chocolate, it all just falls apart. And if you have too much chocolate, you don’t get all of the yumminess of the add-ins! This is the perfect ratio – just enough chocolate to cover everything perfectly, but not too over the top.
Last year for Christmas I made a wreath out of Clinkers rocky road for our table centrepiece. It was AWESOME and since then, I’ve been whipping up batches of Clinkers rocky road whenever I can. It really is the quickest and easiest thing ever!
And so, this year my plan is to make lots of batches of Clinkers rocky road as gifts for friends and family – it’s so easy to just pop the pieces into a cellophane bag and tie with a really cute ribbon. The perfect (and most delicious) little gift ever.

Clinkers Rocky Road
Ingredients
- 500 g milk chocolate melts or dark
- 30 g coconut oil optional
- 250 g Clinkers - cut in half
- 100 g marshmallows
- 200 g raspberry lollies
Instructions
-
Line the base and sides of a 18 x 28cm rectangular slice tray with baking paper.
-
Chop the Clinkers in half and set aside.
-
Place the chocolate and coconut oil into a heatproof, microwave-safe bowl.
-
Heat, uncovered, on 50% power, stirring every minute with a metal spoon, for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate and coconut oil melts (if using a Thermomix, melt on 80 degrees, Speed 2 for 3-4 minutes).
-
Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth.
-
Stir through the Clinkers, marshmallows and raspberry lollies.
-
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking tray and place in the fridge for 2 hours or until completely set.
-
Use a sharp knife to cut into slices (if you are having trouble cutting the slice, run your knife under hot water and then dry completely before cutting - the heat will help to cut the slice evenly).
Ooh this looks so festive! 🙂
Thanks!
Hi did you uee mini marshmallows or do u cut them up….an is it the white and pink ones
Hi Sarah, I just use normal ones and generally just leave them whole!
Oh my, my mouth is watering! I just love Rocky Road and my daughter has been asking me to make it for a while now. This is now on my list of things to bake.:)
Have fun!
I’m a huge fan of Rocky Road and this one looks so pretty. Do you know I don’t think I’ve ever had Clinkers? We don’t have them in the Mother Country… I will have to rectify this situation immediately!
OMG!! What!!!! You must, MUST get onto that!
This takes me back to my childhood. I used to love clinkers! Thanks so much for linking up to YWF too.
Oh absolutely!
I MUST make this for my Dad! He is clinkers mad, and he certainly deserves lots of Christmas treats after all the work he has put into his Christmas display this year (yes, we are that family). Perfect rocky road Lucy!
What is clinkers, and where can I buy them from, would love to try the rocky road tray bakes. Thank you
Clinkers are a chocolate covered hard candy made by Cadbury. You can buy them in Australia and New Zealand – but I’m not sure where else. You could always substitute the Clinkers for any of your favourite chocolate covered lollies.
DROOLING!!!! These would make great teachers’ gifts. Thank you x
Absolutely! Lucky teachers!
Your killing me with all your Clinker deliciousness of late my dear!
hehe Sorry!
Could you please tell me what lollies are, I would love to make these but not sure what kind of candy that is. Thank you
Lollies are what we call candy in Australia. Clinkers are a type of candy but they’re only available in Australia and New Zealand as far as I know!
Hi, just wondering if you don’t use coconut oil, does it need to be substituted. I live remotely and our shop doesn’t stock it 🙁
No you can leave it out completely! It just helps to mix the chocolate through as it makes it smoother, but it’s not a necessity! xx
G’day LOVE Clinker! Can these go in the freezer and be defrosted or how would I go if I made these overnight or days ahead? How would I properly cover and serve? Thank you!
Absolutely they can be frozen! I tend to make them, cut them into slices, wrap them together in foil and then place into an airtight container and into the fridge. Simply take them out the day you need them and they’ll be defrosted in time. xx
What chocolate did you use in the picture above? Was it Milk?
Yep milk chocolate! You can make it with dark chocolate though!
