My favourite rocky road

One of my reliable ‘go to’ dishes when asked to bring a sweets plate, would have to be rocky road.

But not your usual ‘one chocolate / glace cherry’ rocky road.

No sir.

I’m talking ‘two chocolate-turkish delight’ rocky road.

Aka sugar overload.

What I love about this treat, despite being tasty, is that it can be put together quickly. Just melted milk chocolate, mixed with all the ‘fun stuff’…

Pressed into a lined pan then topped with melted white chocolate.

Into the fridge for a couple hours (or overnight) to set, then slice and serve!

Out of all the dishes I have taken to parties over the years, it is this rocky road that has received the most compliments.

And on this occasion, when I took a batch to Mother’s Group recently, it was no different…

There was none left at the end, and I’ve already handed the recipe out 3 times. Be warned, though -  its rather moreish. 

I always struggle to stop at just one piece

Rocky Road

The following quantities are a guide only. You really can use as little or as many ingredients as you would like – depending on the taste / texture that you are after. 

• 400g milk chocolate (I use Cadbury)
• 200g white chocolate (or melts)
• 200g marshmallows, chopped in half
• 180g raspberry lollies
• 150g Turkish delight bars, chopped
• Handful of chopped nuts (peanuts, macadamias etc)

1. Line a slice tray with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang.
2. Place the chopped marshmallows, raspberry lollies, Turkish delight and nuts into a large bowl and set aside.
3. Melt the milk chocolate, then pour over the chopped ingredients. Stir to coat well, and press into the lined tray.
4. Melt the white chocolate, and drizzle it over the top. Use a spoon to swirl it into the milk chocolate.
5. Refrigerate until set, then slice and serve.

What about you? Are you a fan of rocky road?
