    Rocky Road

    By Robyn | Published: Oct 7, 2020 | Modified: Oct 7, 2020

    TO THE RECIPE

    Made from chocolate, marshmallows, biscuits and almonds, this easy peasy rocky road recipe takes less than 10 minutes to make!

    What is Rocky Road?

    Rocky road is an Australian slice made from melted chocolate mixed with marshmallows and nuts. Like chocolate tiffin, Hedgehog slice and White Christmas, it is a no bake slice, and is a great recipe for using up any leftover biscuits.

    There are many variants, and you can easily adapt the recipe to your tastes, and what is in your cupboard, but here are the main rocky road ingredients:

    • Chocolate: In this recipe for rocky road I have used dark chocolate, but you could easily swap in milk chocolate or use a combination of milk and dark chocolate.
    • Biscuits: You can make this slice with digestive biscuits (as I have used), graham crackers, ginger snaps or shortbread biscuits.
    • Marshmallows: Use full size marshmallows and roughly chop, or use mini marshmallows and leave whole.
    • Nuts: Use 35g of coconut flakes or 50g peanuts instead of the almonds.

    Enjoy as a simple no bake dessert, or a teatime treat that the kids can help make. It makes a delicious easy Christmas gift too, along with this dark chocolate coconut bark and white chocolate bark with pistachios and rose petals.

    FAQ and Tips:

    How long does this no bake slice keep for?

    It will keep in an airtight container for a couple of weeks.

    Can I freeze this chocolate slice?

    Yes you can. Make sure you wrap it well to prevent it from taking on any strong flavours from other items stored in the freezer (think onions and garlic…)

    Making a nut free rocky road:

    Make using the same weight of chocolate (200g), and butter (20g). Increase both the marshmallows and biscuits to 75g each, or mix in sultanas or apricots in place of the nuts.

    Cutting this chocolate slice neatly:

    After the slice has been in the fridge for 30 minutes, slice using a sharp knife, and then place back in the fridge to firm up fully. This helps you get clean slices without it crumbling.

    Please note: the slices in these pictures are double the portion size. I was so busy trying to stop my 3 year old son from getting in the shot (he had just seen the jar of marshmallows), that I forgot to cut the rocky road in half again… 😉

    Instructions
     

    • Line a 24cm x 13 cm (9" x 5") tin with baking paper.

    • Pour the melted chocolate over the biscuit marshmallow mixture and stir well to combine.
    • Spoon into the lined tin and spread out in an even layer. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

    • It will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    Notes

    Chocolate: Use the best quality chocolate you can. Use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or a mixture of both.
    Marshmallows: You can use large or small, if using larger ones cut into half or quarters.
    Nut free rocky road: Use the same weight of chocolate (200g), and butter (20g). Increase both the the marshmallows and biscuits to 75g each, or mix in sultanas or apricots in place of the nuts.
    Cutting this chocolate slice neatly: After the slice has been in the fridge for 30 minutes, slice using a sharp knife, and then place back in the fridge to firm up fully. This helps you get clean slices without it crumbling.

      Rocky road is the best! And is so quick and easy to make with the kids, or a last minute ‘oh I’ve run out of time to bake but I need to take something’.

      Yum! This reminds me of the brand Darrell Lee – I would buy rocky road from them, but now I can make it myself.
