Rocky Road Recipe – Kid Friendly Version

Nut-free-rocky-road-kid-friendly-500.jpg

Earlier this year after the arrival of our beautiful baby, the children’s school delivered a baby bundle. One of the delicious items in it was a child friendly version of Rocky Road. I have to admit to only sharing a small piece with the kids and I actually ate the rest!

I had my first attempt to make it myself last week. It was delicious, but as I didn’t have a recipe to work from, I think I actually included too much other ingredients with the chocolate. I have reduced the amounts in the list below, so there should be more chocolate filling with this recipe.

Rocky Road Recipe – Kid Friendly

Rocky Road Recipe - The Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 75gms mini marshmallow or large marshmallows (3/4 of the 100gm packet)
  • 1 packet Crispy M&Ms
  • 135 grams raspberry lollies (again 3/4 of 180 gram packet)
  • 2 x 200gms Blocks Milk Chocolate

Instructions:

  1. Cut raspberries in half. If you are using large marshmallows, chop them in half too.
  2. Break chocolate up into chunks and place in a large microwave safe dish.
  3. Heat in microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat this step, with 15 – 30 seconds bursts in the microwave until the chocolate is melted.
  4. Add M&M’s, marshmallows and raspberries to the melted chocolate and mix well.
  5. Line a dish with baking paper and pour chocolate mix into it. I like the rocky road to be thick, so the dish I used was about 4cm deep.

  6. Place in fridge for a couple of hours to set.
  7. As it is easier to cut once it has softened a little, take the dish out of the fridge 15 minutes or so before you want to cut it.
  8. Cut it into chunks and enjoy!
