Walnut Rocky Road

Posted 2012-12-20 by Jane ⇒ follow

This is a simple but scrumptious Rocky Road recipe which uses walnuts, although macadamias and pistachios also work well.

Ready for the fridge

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour

Ingredients
1 packet of marshmallows
1 packet of raspberry or mixed berry lollies
500 grams of Walnuts
200 grams of dark chocolate
200 grams of regular milk cooking chocolate

Method

Chop the marshmallows in half using a pair of scissors (easier than a knife).

Chop the berries in half as well.

Chop up the Walnuts into quarters (roughly). Not too fine.

Line a tray with baking paper.

Break up the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Use 30 second bursts on high, stirring in between. It should only require a minute or so but make sure all the lumps are gone.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl making sure everything is thoroughly coated in chocolate.

Pour ingredients into the pre-prepared tray.

Leave in the fridge to cool. It should be well set within 1 hour.

Remove from tray and baking paper.

Chop into segments to suit using a large sharp knife.

Try not to eat it all at once.
