Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
- Chocolate - I like to use milk chocolate for my classic rocky road recipe. However, you can substitute with white or dark chocolate if you prefer. 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.
- Coconut oil - add a little to your chocolate when melting it - this will help with cutting into neat slices.
- Marshmallows - choose regular sized marshmallows for this recipe and cut in half. I use Pascall brand which is popular here in Australia.
- Coconut - desiccated coconut is a classic ingredient in chocolate Rocky Road. However, if you don't like coconut, you can omit it entirely.
- Peanuts - Rocky Road generally contains peanuts, however you can use any type of nuts you like (macadamias, pistachios, cashews etc). If catering for nut allergies, omit the nuts entirely.
- Raspberry lollies - Allens raspberry lollies have cult status here in Australia, however, you can use any kind of soft jellies you like - or even Turkish delight!
- Slicing - 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).
- Equipment - Rocky Road can be made using a microwave, stove-top or Thermomix. If using a stove-top, melt the chocolate and coconut oil (optional) in a small bowl over a saucepan of boiling water (do not allow the water to enter the chocolate bowl).
- Storing & Freezing - Rocky Road can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 month or frozen for up to 3 months.
