I learnt about it while living there. It did take me a while to like marshmallows in chocolate but once I got the hang of it...there was no turning back.
There are many variations available including ones made by Cadbury and many other superior chocolate makers.
None beats a homemade version where the variation varies from adding Turkish Delight, Raspberry lolls, Snickers bars, Rice Krispies etc.
This one is a simple and quick one. Great for kids birthday parties. Which kid does not like marshmallows, oreos and melted chocolate all put together???
Ingredients
110 silvered almonds
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
250g mini marshmallows, colored...(if you cant get mini, get the big ones and pull them apart)
115g oreos or chocolate sandwich cookies, broken into smaller pieces
500g good Belgian Eating Dark Chocolate, melted
Method
- Lightly grease rectangular pan (28cm x 18cm approximately), line with parchment paper.
- Preheat over to 180C / 350F. Spread almond on baking tray and bake for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly golden. Transfer to plate to cool.
- Meanwhile, place coconut in a pan and
lightly roast over medium heat till golden brown. Transfer to plate to cool. Leaving it in the pan to cool is never a good idea. The heat continues to cook the coconut and make it darker. - Combine almonds, coconut, marshmallows, cookies in a large bowl.
- Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. (Double Boil!) Stir until the chocolate has melted.
- Pour melted chocolate over the marshmallows mixture. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix all ingredients until evenly combined. Scrap marshmallow mixture into a prepared pan.
- Place in fridge for 20 min to 40 mins to set.
- Lift Rocky Road out of the pan and cut into 24 to 30 pieces depending on preferred size.
- Serve!
