What is Rocky Road?
Rocky road is a no-bake dessert made with a mixture of crushed biscuits, melted chocolate, marshmallows, and sometimes nuts or dried fruit (int his recipe I have used raisins). The ingredients are combined and then chilled in the refrigerator until set. Once set, the cake is typically sliced into squares or bars for serving and it's a great way of using up leftover chocolate, biscuits and other treats. The beauty of this recipe is you can mix the add-in ingredients depending on what you have in the cupboards and experiment with chocolate flavours.
How long can you store Rocky Road for?
Rocky road can typically be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks. Proper storage is key to maintaining its freshness and texture and to prevent the marshmallows or biscuits becoming too soft.
What other ingredients can you add to Rocky Road?
- Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pecans, or hazelnuts can add a delightful crunch and nutty flavour.
- Dried Fruit: Dried cherries, cranberries, apricots, or raisins can provide a chewy sweetness that complements the chocolate and marshmallows.
- Cookies or Biscuits: Crushed digestive biscuits, Biscoff biscuits, or Oreos can add additional texture and flavour.
- Chocolate Chips: Dark, milk, or white chocolate chips can be mixed in for extra bursts of chocolatey goodness.
- Toffee Bits: Bits of toffee or caramel can add a delicious caramel flavour and a bit of chewiness.
- Coconut: Toasted coconut flakes can provide a tropical twist and an added crunch.
- Pretzels: Crushed pretzels can add a salty crunch that contrasts nicely with the sweet chocolate and marshmallows.
- Spices: A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or sea salt can enhance the flavour profile and add complexity to the rocky road.
- Extracts: Vanilla, almond, or peppermint extract can add a hint of additional flavour to the chocolate mixture.
- Fudge Swirl: Swirls of melted fudge throughout the rocky road can add extra richness and decadence.
