Chock full of nuts and marshmallows, rocky road is a fun and tasty homemade sweet treat the whole family will love.

Ingredients

  • 750 g chocolate (I use a mixture of milk and dark)

  • 1 cup (150 g) blanched peanuts

  • ½ cup (60 g) pistachio nuts

  • ½ cup (70 g) Brazil nuts, roughly chopped

  • ¾ cup (65 g) thread coconut or coconut chips

  • 180 g pink and white marshmallows

Method

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Grease or line a 20 cm x 25 cm slice tin.

  2. Break chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. As soon as the chocolate starts to melt, turn the heat off, leave for a few minutes and then gently stir until smooth.

  3. While chocolate is melting, place nuts in a baking dish and roast for around 8 minutes or until golden. Add coconut to the dish and toast for a further minute or two until the coconut is lightly coloured. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

  4. Roughly chop marshmallows – kitchen scissors are good for this job.

  5. Pour a thin layer of chocolate into the prepared slice tin and then cover with a layer of nuts, coconut and marshmallows. Cover with more chocolate and then remaining nuts, marshmallows, and lastly all the remaining chocolate. Refrigerate to set and then chop into chunks.
