Mr Jones thinks so, as he happily munches through at least two pieces with his coffee. You may be thinking, white chocolate AND Biscoff spread – isn’t this rocky road going to be super sweet?

Ingredient notes and substitutions
- Lotus Biscoff biscuits – These European crispy spiced caramel biscuits, speculoos, or speculaas have found their way across the globe, and with good reason. Their flavour is so unique there isn’t another biscuit you could really substitute in for them.
- Lotus Biscoff smooth spread – The star that really differentiates this recipe for white chocolate rocky road from all the rest. I have only just discovered this Lotus biscuits in spread form, smooth and creamy. Again, if you cannot get hold of this, I would recommend you make this easy rocky road and adapt to your tastes if you need to.
- White chocolate – I have tested making this rocky road with dark chocolate, but I personally found the bitterness from it made the biscuits taste slightly burnt. Milk chocolate slightly overpowers it, but white is the best, in my opinion. However, this is personal taste, use whichever chocolate you prefer. In Australia, I find Milky Bar, Lindt and Nestle Plaistowe the easiest white chocolate to work with (other brands can not melt as well.) In the UK, any white chocolate should work in this recipe.
- Marshmallows – I use mini marshmallows in the photos, but I have used normal sized marshmallows too, and cut them in to quarters.
- Almonds – I use roasted almonds, but you can toast your own almonds – see note below for how to do this.

FAQ
Biscoff biscuits are blended with oils and sugar to produce a smooth, creamy and spreadable version of Lotus Biscoff biscuits.
Biscoff is like Nutella in the fact that it is a sweet smooth creamy spread, however the taste of Biscoff spread is more caramel-cinnamon, whereas Nutella is hazelnut chocolate.
Yes, Biscoff spread (and Biscoff biscuits) are nut free.
To roast in the oven, lay the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 160˚C/325˚F for 5-10 minutes. To roast in a pan/skillet: place in a dry pan and toast, shaking often, for 3-5 minutes until golden. Cool before adding to the rocky road.
My recipe tips
- Don’t crush the biscoff biscuits too much, you want some larger pieces.
- White chocolate can be tricky to work with as it can seize and become grainy. To prevent this, I recommend melting the chocolate in a ban marie (a heat proof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water). This is more gentle than a microwave, and you can keep an eye on it.
- For a nut free biscoff rocky road recipe, leave out the almonds. You don’t need to replace them with anything.
- Wait a couple of minutes before adding the melted chocolate to the marshmallows. If you pour the chocolate over the marshmallows whilst really hot, they will begin to melt. Whilst this doesn’t affect the taste, it doesn’t look as pretty.
- You can add the biscoff spread to the white chocolate, however I like keeping it seperate and having a slightly marbled effect in the chocolate to get mouthfuls that taste strongly of biscoff, and then mouthfuls that the flavour of white chocolate is stronger.
- Press the mixture firmly in the tin, to avoid it crumbling when cut into pieces.
How to neatly cut rocky road
Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cut it. Dip a sharp knife into boiling water, dry on a tea towel or kitchen paper, then slice. Repeat as needed. Place the rocky road back in the fridge until needed.
