Description

This easy rocky road has 5 ingredients and takes about 15 minutes to come together. It is a choose your own adventure no-bake treat - use the same mix-ins that I have (marshmallows, peanuts, and turkish delight), or mix it up based on your taste and what you have in the pantry - the options are endless!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g chocolate of your choice (I used milk), coarsely chopped 
  • 20g neutral oil (I used Rice Bran)
  • 240g marshmallows, quartered (or use mini marshmallows)
  • 200g roasted salted peanuts, coarsely chopped (or use 100g peanuts and 100g mini pretzels)
  • 200g turkish delight bars (I used Fry's), chopped, alternatively something gummy of your choice
  • Flaky sea salt to finish (Optional)


Instructions

  1. Grease and line an 8" pan (20cm) with parchment paper, leaving parchment paper extending over the sides of the pan to form a sling. Clip down with binder clips if you like. 
  2. Place the chopped chocolate and neutral oil in a heatproof bowl. Either microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between, or create a double boiler by placing the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure that the bowl does not touch the water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is fully melted. 
  3. While the chocolate is melting, prepare the mix-ins. Chop the marshmallows, peanuts, pretzels if using, and turkish delight or mix-ins of your choice, and add to a large bowl. Toss to make sure they aren't too stuck together. 
  4. Once the chocolate has melted, leave it to stand for 5 minutes or so to make sure that it does not melt your marshmallows. 
  5. Pour the melted chocolate into the bowl with the mix-ins, and stir with a spatula until well combined. 
  6. Transfer to the prepared pan and press down with a spatula until it is in a semi even layer (it doesn't matter if it looks lumpy). 
  7. Finish with flaky sea salt if you like. 
  8. Leave to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until fully set. Remove from the pan using the parchment paper sling, and cut into pieces using a sharp knife. 
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks, or store in the fridge if the weather is warm 

Notes

300g marshmallow eggs in place of the marshmallows 
200g roasted salted peanuts 
One 125g bag of mini eggs 
200g turkish delight 
200g maltesers
