Aussie Joy's Life

Plate full of Christmas goodness... rocky road, Raspberry lollies, cashews and chocolate hand drawn stars

This is one of the easiest recipes for Rocky Road I’ve ever made.  My sister shared it with me years ago and every year it gets made for someone or some special occasion!

Ingredients

Packet of good cooking chocolate.  (I like to use Australian Cadbury or Nestle. The better the chocolate the better the sweet.  Use dark, milk or white – whatever you fancy!)

Packet of Raspberry Lollies (I couldn’t find these in the US but used red swedish fish or something jelly like.  Preferably a raspberry flavour)

Cup full of Peanuts (I’ve even used chocolate coated ones!)

Packet of Marshmallows

Method

Prepare a pan – 30cm x 20cm.  Line with grease proof paper – or it will be VERY difficult to get off!

Depending on the size of the Marshmallows, cut to small bite sizes.

Cut Raspberries in half – so the jelly goodness spreads throughout the whole mixture well.

Melt Chocolate

Quickly, add all ingredients into a large bowl and then stir everything in well.  Pour into the pan and flatten down.  Chill till hardened and then cut up and serve!

If you want to add a little texture, melt white chocolate and place in a zip lock bag, cut a whole in the corner and scribble lines across the Rocky Road before cutting it up.  The stars in the picture above where made using the same method.  Put grease proof paper on a tray and then draw like you would with a pencil.  You might need to put a towel around the zip lock bag if its too hot to handle!  Place in the fridge till hardened and then just peel off the paper.  Everyone will think you’re an chocolate connoisseur!

Make a cuppa hot tea and enjoy a delicious bit of Rocky Road goodness!
