    Everyone has their own favourite combination of rocky road ingredients, and this is just one of mine! If you're looking for a recipe for rocky road with no nuts, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

    Homemade rocky road makes a simple and delicious gift for family and friends, and a popular addition to a dessert platter or grazing board for parties.

    Just like my classic milk chocolate rocky road recipe and my Christmas-inspired white chocolate rocky road, this easy rocky road with licorice allsorts is all kinds of delicious (and SO quick and easy to make!)

    Why You're Going To Love This Recipe

    This rocky road recipe combines the softness of fluffy marshmallows and the chewiness of sweet licorice allsorts!

    • Quick and easy - if you've ever made rocky road before, you'll know that there's not much preparation required which is always a bonus! It will take just 10 minutes to prepare this recipe.
    • Versatile - mix and match with any of your favourite rocky road ingredients - such as nuts, soft jelly lollies and more!
    • Homemade gift - such a perfectly fabulous chocolate treat to wrap up prettily and gift to someone special.
    • Conventional and Thermomix Instructions - melting the chocolate is quick and easy in a microwave, but instructions are also provided for melting and mixing in a Thermomix if you have one.

    What You Need

    Rocky road is made from just a few basic ingredients. Once you know how to make rocky road, you are only limited by your imagination when it comes to the add-ins.

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    • Milk chocolate melts - are small, round buttons of chocolate that are easy to melt, unlike chocolate chips. I generally use Cadbury or Nestle chocolate melts which are popular here in Australia.
    • Coconut oil - this is an optional ingredient, but as it helps the chocolate to melt and makes the rocky road easier to cut, I do recommend adding it in.
    • Marshmallows - these are readily available in supermarkets, and are a traditional ingredient in rocky road. You can use sharp scissors to snip them in half to make it easy to cut!
    • Turkish Delight bars - milk chocolate covered Turkish Delight bars are available in the confectionery aisle of supermarkets.
    • Licorice allsorts - these are licorice confectionery in an assortment of shapes, covered in coloured fondant.
    • Sprinkles - also known as 100s & 1000s, these are a common pantry ingredient if you have kids!

    Step By Step Instructions

    In just a few simple steps, your easy Rocky Road with Licorice Allsorts will be ready to set in the fridge! 

    Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method.

    Step 1 - Melt The Chocolate

    Heat in a microwave, uncovered, on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds with a metal spoon, for 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate and coconut oil melts.

    FAQ's

    Are there any tricks to melting chocolate in the microwave?

    There are a few tricks and tips to prevent the chocolate from 'seizing' when melting it in the microwave. You can read about them in this post here.

    What benefit does adding the optional coconut oil have?

    The coconut oil helps with the consistency of the melted chocolate. It's listed as optional because it's not absolutely essential, but it does make the chocolate easier to work with.

    Can I substitute dark or white chocolate melts instead of milk chocolate?

    You can certainly substitute with dark chocolate melts with no other changes required. If substituting with white chocolate melts, I recommend using traditional Turkish delight, dusted with icing sugar, instead of the chocolate covered bars, if you want the rocky road to be remain as a white chocolate version.

    Expert Tips

    Cutting the marshmallows

    It is much easier to use a pair of sharp scissors to cut your marshmallows in half. If the blades are sticking, give them a very light, quick, spray with some spray cooking oil.

    Slicing the rocky road

    If you are having trouble cutting the slice, run your knife under hot water and then dry it completely before cutting. The heat in the blade will help to cut the slice evenly! Also adding a little coconut oil to the chocolate makes it easier to cut without cracking.

    Storing & freezing

    Store rocky road in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
    Alternatively, you can freeze rocky road for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
