Why you’ll love this Rocky Road recipe
⭐️ No bake – just melt, mix and chill
⭐️ The classic Christmas chocolate orange flavour
⭐️ Only a handful of ingredients
Do you have to use a microwave to make this?
No, but if you are melting the chocolate mixture on the hob, make sure you do melt the butter slightly before adding the chocolate.
This stops the chocolate from burning. OR use a bowl over a pan of bubbling water (not touching).
If you are using the microwave, don’t cook for any longer than 45 seconds at a time or you’ll burn the chocolate!
Chocolate Orange Rocky Road Ingredients Notes
- Butter – Unsalted is best. NOT margarine
- Chocolate – This recipe uses a mixture of dark chocolate and Terry’s Chocolate Orange for a good balance of flavour and density. I wouldn’t recommend only using milk chocolate as they won’t be fudgy in the same way. A slightly different ratio if you don’t have enough of either will be fine though! DON’T USE COOKING CHOCOLATE! It has additives to stop it setting in the same way as regular chocolate
- Golden syrup – This helps to add sweetness and stops the mixture being too hard when set
- Chunky filling – This is made up of mini marshmallows, crushed up digestive biscuits and more Terry’s Chocolate Orange
- Optional topping – White chocolate, more chocolate orange and I also like to add sprinkles
How to make Chocolate Orange Rocky Road
- Melt together your chocolates, butter and golden syrup. You can do this in the microwave as I did in the video or in a pan on the hob.
- Allow to cool slightly and then add crushed biscuits, marshmallows and Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
- Press the mixture into a lined tin and drizzle with more chocolate and toppings. Chill, cut and enjoy!
Storing
Once the Rocky Road has set, it can be kept at room temperature, unless it’s warm in your kitchen, and then it would be much better in the fridge.
Top tipS
➡️ Make sure that the mixture has cooled slightly before you add the chocolate orange chunks or they’ll melt.
➡️ If you can’t find whole chocolate oranges, any chocolates of the same flavour will work.
➡️ If the slab is too hard to cut straight out of the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
➡️ I use baking parchment or baking paper for almost all of my bakes and cakes. It means no sticking, ever. I buy it in bulk from Amazon so I never run out and it’s also heaps cheaper that way. Not to be confused with greaseproof paper, which needs to be oiled first, so not good for no bake cakes.
➡️ I use my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe. This chocolate is just amazing, it melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe. When you buy it in bulk (1kg bags at a time) from Amazon it works out to about the same price as supermarket chocolate. A good investment I think as it really does make SUCH a difference.
