Equipment

  • Baking/parchment paper
  • Slice tray/cake tin
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large heatproof jug

Ingredients

  • 600 grams white chocolate Note 1
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows Note 2
  • ½ cup pistachio nuts Note 3
  • 1 cup glace cherries roughly chopped
  • 1 cup spearmint leaves roughly chopped, Note 4

Instructions

  • Line a square slice or cake tin with greaseproof paper (Tray dimensions 24cm x 5cm, 9 inch x 2 inches). Leave an overhang on the sides.
  • Add marshmallows, pistachio nuts, glace cherries and spearmint leaves to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Add chocolate melts and olive oil (optional) to a large heatproof jug. Microwave for 2 mins then remove and stir till chocolate is fully melted.
  • Pour melted chocolate over combined filling ingredients and stir till consistently mixed together.
  • Transfer wet rocky road into lined cake tin and place in the fridge for 1 -2 hours to set.
  • Once set, remove from fridge, allow to sit for 10 - 20 mins and then use a sharp knife to cut into pieces.
  • Store in a sealed airt tight container in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks.

Notes

  • Note 1 You can use chocolate melts, bits, pieces or a block broken into pieces. Ensure you use the equivalent amount as per the recipe and that you use cooking chocolate, not regular chocolate. 
  • Note 2 Mini marshmallows are perfect as you don't need to chop them, making them both quick and easy. If you want to use regular size marshmallows, cut them in halves with kitchen scissors before combining them with the other filling ingredients. 
  • Note 4 This is a lolly/candy that is commonly sold in Australia. It is a green spearmint flavoured sugar coasted chewy candy. I use kitchen scissors and cut each leaf into 4 small pieces.
