Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate and Butter Mixture

200g dark chocolate
100g milk chocolate
100g unsalted butter

Add-ins

150g mini marshmallows
100g chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts)
100g dried cranberries
50g biscuits (crushed)

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Place the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture melts completely and becomes smooth and glossy.
Cool the Mixture Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for a few minutes to avoid melting the add-ins later.
Add Mix-Ins: Add the mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, and crushed biscuits to the chocolate base. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated with chocolate.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a baking dish with parchment or greaseproof paper for easy removal of the dessert later.
Spread the Mixture: Pour the rocky road mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Chill to Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm and set.
Cut and Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge, lift out the rocky road slab using the lined paper, cut into squares, and serve.

Notes

Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
You can customize the nuts and dried fruit to your preference, such as using pistachios or dried cherries.
Store the rocky road in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuits.
If you prefer a sweeter rocky road, increase the ratio of milk chocolate to dark chocolate.
