[smiles4u]

Hi all,

My girlfriend's hubby loves rocky road and i wanna surprise him with some homemade rocky road seeing i always spoil her with my lemon slice

... as i'm not a huge fan of rocky road could you all throw me your best Rocky Road recipes pretty please

TIA

[ss_storm]

check out the harry's rocky road website...YUM!! Some delicious ideas there!

When I've made Rocky Road I use milk chocolate, the raspberry lollies cut in half, marshmallows chopped up and sometimes sultanas. Just melt chocolate and mix together, pop in a slice tray and put in the fridge to set.

I make my rocky road with the bellybelly fudge... then I add some halved lolly raspberries, marshmallows and peanuts. It is brilliant!

I take Dark Compound cooking chocolate (the homebrand kind _ and melt an entire large block.

I melt it in the microwave in a pyrex dish, I take it out every 30 seconds and stir well and again until its melted. I then mix in 1 cup coconut, then 1 packet homebrand rasberries, 1/2 pascels marshmallows and nuts if necessary, but not always. I would use an unsalted peanut or walnut if it were me. Then I mix it all up and press it into a slice dish. I then melt 150gm white chocolate. I pour it over the mix. In the fridge/freezer for an hour and bam.... rocky road.

... anymore recipe ideas & tips (i have no idea)

[Rouge]

The one I do is melt dark choc, and melt white choc (with a TBSP or so of Peanut Butter) then I mix whatever I want into the dark choc (I like raspberry lollies and baby marshmallows), and add some coconut to the white choc and then pour the dark choc into a dish and dot with the white then take a skewer and swirl and you have a swirly yummy rocky road.

mine has copha in it I know that much. I cant find the recipe

[Lisa]

Fudge
3 Cups choc melts
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
40g unsalted butter
1x 395g can sweetened condensed milk

I usually leave the vanilla out and add extra chocolate. I use 1.5 blocks of Cadbury chocolate. As I mentioned in my PP, I add the raspberry lollies, marshmallows & nuts to make it rocky road fudge.

[~breeze~]

I use cadbury milk chocolate, snakes alive cut up (great colours too!), marshmellos cut, a bit of coconut droooooooool its sooooooooooo good!!!! (Its actually my older sistsers recipe so I wont take credit LOL)

Yep, love the lolly raspberries in my rocky road.

Also, use shredded coconut, rather than dessicated - much better texture.

And, my favourite, is to use special k cereal, instead of or as well as nuts - delicious!

It's really just a melt and mix thing - no special recipe, just melt your chocolate and allow to cool a little (so your marshmallows don't melt), add your chopped raspberries, coconut, special k, nuts, etc, pour into tin and refrigerate. Easy!

[ss_storm]

I'd use the good marshmallows smiles4u...they're much nicer and have the right texture! And yes I forgot about coconut!

[smiles4u]

WOW thanks for all those awesome ideas i so appreciate it

(Pandora i got you FB msg thanks heaps for that )

... well so far i picked up the Pascall Marshmallows as they were on special at Coles until yesterday 2 for $4 ... now just gotta get the other ingredients now hee hee !!

YES, YES to the snakes alive!!!!!! awesome, best ever rocky road I have eaten had lolly snakes in it and that's now how I make mine. I just melt a block of cadbury and add however much of the other stuff to suit, usually lolly snakes, mini marshmallows (so I don't have to cut them) and then coconut. You can play around soooo much with different things in rocky road...YUM, YUM. Also you can add peanuts but I leave them out as sooo many people have reactions. I made some for a birthday party once and one man was so grateful I left out the peanuts as he loves rocky road but can't eat peanuts.

[barney]
