Tips For Making Rocky Road

  • Choose a high quality chocolate for melting (I like to use Cadbury, Lindt or Nestle). The chocolate is the main ingredient in this recipe, so choosing a good one makes all the difference.
  • Add a little coconut oil to your chocolate when melting it - this will help with cutting into neat slices.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds with a dry metal spoon until the chocolate has just melted (see my tips here for perfectly melting chocolate).
  • Cut the Clinkers into halves before mixing through the milk chocolate. This makes it much easier to cut and also gives a beautiful burst of colour.
  • Remove the rocky road from the fridge at least 30 minutes before slicing - this will help it to stop cracking.
  • Use a large sharp knife to cut the rocky road (or check out my top tips for cutting rocky road here).
  • Rocky road can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 weeks or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Our rocky road recipe can be made using a microwave, stove-top or Thermomix.
