Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) of chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- 1 cup (200g) of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (200g) of chopped jelly snakes
- Optional: 1/2 cup (50g) of chopped nuts or chopped licorice
Instructions
-
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and getting your Swiss roll tray ready. If you prefer, line the tray with parchment paper for easy removal later.
-
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. If you’re using a stovetop, place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), stirring frequently until melted.
-
Combine with Jelly Snakes: Add the chopped jelly snakes to the melted chocolate. Stir quickly to ensure that the jelly snakes are well coated with the chocolate. Be sure to mix swiftly to prevent the marshmallows from melting too much.
-
Add Marshmallows: Fold in the mini marshmallows gently. Stir just enough to mix them into the chocolate mixture without allowing them to completely melt. The goal is to have a mix where you can still see the marshmallows and jelly snakes.
-
Spread and Set: Pour the mixture into the prepared Swiss roll tray and spread it out evenly. If you’re adding chopped nuts or licorice, sprinkle them over the top before the mixture sets. Place the tray in the refrigerator and let it chill until firm, about 1 hour.
-
Cut and Serve: Once set, remove the Rocky Road from the fridge. Cut it into squares and, if desired, place each piece into patty cases for a neat presentation. Serve alongside your favorite coffee or enjoy as a standalone sweet treat.
Tips
- Customize Your Rocky Road: Feel free to get creative by adding other mix-ins such as dried fruit, coconut flakes, or pretzels for a crunchy twist.
- Storage: Store any leftover Rocky Road in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for up to 1 week, though it’s unlikely to last that long!
This 10-Minute Rocky Road is sure to be a hit with its rich chocolatey goodness, chewy marshmallows, and fun jelly snakes. Whether you’re making it for a party, a quick treat, or just because, it’s a fail-proof recipe that delivers every time. Enjoy!
