Nutty Rocky Road

Hey everyone,

I've been doing a lot of cooking and baking lately and I have a recipe for you. This rocky road is simply delicious, even if I do say so myself! Try not to think about all that fat though, it is a treat after all...


These sweet treats are always a hit with EVERYONE. They'll sell out at bake sales and are sure to make someone smile when given as a gift. The recipe is not exact, I tend to just chuck everything in!

  • 1kg Milk Chocolate
  • 250g Unsalted Butter
  • 180-200g Mini Marshmallows (whatever size your pack is!)
  • 100g Walnuts
  • 50g Brazil Nuts
  • 175g Digestive Biscuits
  • 200g Glace Cherries

1. Place the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water to melt.

2. Bash the biscuits and nuts into smallish pieces and chop the cherries into a similar size and mix together with the marshmallows.

3. Once chocolate is melted, melt your butter separately and add to the chocolate. You now have to work very fast as the chocolate will begin to seize.

4. Beat the butter into the chocolate, and add to the rest of the mix.

5. Stir really well to incorporate and transfer to a baking tray lined with cling film. The mix will look grainy and you will think it is ruined as some of the fat sits on the surface. Don't panic, as it cools it will rectify itself!

6. Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to allow to set then slice into small pieces.

This should keep for a week or so, but it never lasts that long! Trust me! I like it with a thick dusting of icing sugar on top to finish it off.

Enjoy!
