Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 500 grams (18 ounces) dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 grams (7 ounces) marshmallows, cut into halves or quarters
- 150 grams (5 ounces) unsalted peanuts
Nuts and Dried Ingredients:
- 150 grams (5 ounces) desiccated coconut
- 150 grams (5 ounces) dried cranberries
- 50 grams (1.7 ounces) pistachios, roughly chopped
Binding and Flavor Enhancers:
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) Turkish delight, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×9 inch baking dish by lining it completely with parchment paper, ensuring full coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over simmering water, then gently melt dark chocolate, butter, and golden syrup together, stirring periodically until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Allow the chocolate mixture to cool for approximately 5-7 minutes, preventing potential ingredient separation.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine marshmallows, peanuts, coconut, cranberries, Turkish delight, and pistachios, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients, using a spatula to fold and coat every element completely, creating a rich and textured blend.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture into the prepared parchment-lined dish, using gentle pressure to create an even, compact layer with a smooth surface.
- Refrigerate the rocky road for 2-3 hours at 40°F, or until the mixture becomes completely firm and solid.
- Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the rocky road from the dish, then slice into uniform squares or rectangular bars using a sharp knife.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the decadent chocolate treat immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Melt chocolate gently using a double boiler to prevent burning and ensure smooth, glossy texture.
- Choose high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for richer, more intense flavor.
- Customize mix-ins based on dietary preferences or allergies by swapping nuts or adding gluten-free alternatives.
- Chill thoroughly to achieve perfect cutting consistency and prevent crumbling when serving.
