How to Make Rocky Road

  1. Line a 30cm x 30cm square baking tin with baking paper, ensuring the paper extends over the edges for easy removal.
  2. Melt 300g milk chocolate and 100g copha in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir frequently until completely smooth and melted.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 150g mini marshmallows, 100g roasted salted peanuts, 100g pretzels (roughly chopped), and 100g desiccated coconut (reserve 2 tablespoons for garnish).
  4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Pour the completed mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly using a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut over the top.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the Rocky Road to set completely.
  8. Once set, lift the Rocky Road from the tin using the overhanging baking paper. Cut into chunky squares and enjoy! Wrap individual squares in cellophane and tie with green and red ribbon for festive gifting.
