Rocky Road
Rocky Road and Christmas go hand in hand for me. I like to make several different flavours for the season.
Caramilk almond
The first flavour this year is Caramilk Almond. There are only a few ingredients for this one so its nice and simple.
Caramilk Almond Rocky Road
Ingredients
- 4 blocks of Caramilk chocolate approximately 720g
- 200 grams roasted almonds (1 cup) you can used honeyed macadamia nuts for something different
- 200 grams large white marshmallows (1 cup)
- 200 grams Maltesers (1 cup)
Instructions
- Line a slice tray with baking paper.
- Add chocolate to a large glass microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 20 seconds at a time. Stir between each 20 seconds. Don't be tempted to put it on for longer as the chocolate will burn quickly.
- Add the marshmallows and almonds but let the mixture cool down before adding the Malteesers. If you put them in when the chocolate is too hot the outside will melt right off?
- Pour mixture in to prepared slice tin and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Bring rocky road to room temperature before slicing into squares. If you try to slice straight from the fridge it will crack and you will end up with a mess.
