Our famous Clinkers Rocky Road is the only rocky road recipe you'll ever need! Made from milk chocolate, raspberry lollies, marshmallows and Clinkers... and ready in less than 10 minutes!!
Hands up if you love rocky road? Me too! So I know I'm amongst friends when I tell you that I am absolutely OBSESSED with making (and eating!) rocky road... whether it's white chocolate rocky road or my party rocky road, - I'll always be the girl to put my hand up to make a batch for my family and friends!
Clinkers Rocky Road Recipe
This is the EASIEST RECIPE EVER (and my all-time favourite rocky road recipe!). Just 4 ingredients:
- chocolate (milk or dark)
- raspberry lollies (or Turkish delight)
- marshmallows
- Clinkers... that's it!
*Please note: Clinkers are a famous chocolate made by Cadbury in Australia - they are a hard candy coated in milk chocolate. If you can't buy Clinkers, you can substitute them for any of your favourites chocolates.
The Steps
*For detailed steps and tips, please scroll to the recipe card at the bottom
Chop the Clinkers in half
Melt the chocolate
Mix through the add-ins until well coated
Refrigerate until set and cut into pieces (see tips below)
Tips For Making Rocky Road
- Choose a high quality chocolate for melting (I like to use Cadbury, Lindt or Nestle). The chocolate is the main ingredient in this recipe, so choosing a good one makes all the difference.
- Add a little coconut oil to your chocolate when melting it - this will help with cutting into neat slices.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds with a dry metal spoon until the chocolate has just melted (see my tips here for perfectly melting chocolate).
- Cut the Clinkers into halves before mixing through the milk chocolate. This makes it much easier to cut and also gives a beautiful burst of colour.
- Remove the rocky road from the fridge at least 30 minutes before slicing - this will help it to stop cracking.
- Use a large sharp knife to cut the rocky road (or check out my top tips for cutting rocky road here).
- Rocky road can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Our rocky road recipe can be made using a microwave, stove-top or Thermomix.

Just FYI, the clinkers are available in the US only through Amazon and they're $25.00 us for 9.6 oz.
Not fair!

Someone says
What chocolate did you use in the picture above? Was it Milk?
Bake Play Smile says
Yep milk chocolate! You can make it with dark chocolate though!
Joanne T Ferguson says
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!
Bake Play Smile says
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
Amanda says
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 🙁
Bake Play Smile says
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
