Rocky Road
A mix of all the ingredients I love. Rocky road is very simple to make and a great sweet treat to keep on hand, especially over holiday times. Turkish delight is often sold in packets of mixed flavours so choose the flavour you prefer.
Makes 20-24 pieces
Base
250g block of dark chocolate
250g block of milk chocolate
150g almonds, skin on, toasted and very roughly chopped
150g Turkish delight, cut into 2.5cm pieces (I used rose flavoured Turkish delight)
160g vanilla and raspberry marshmallows, halved or quartered if large
100g dried cranberries
50g dried sour cherries
1-2 tablespoons lightly crushed freeze dried raspberries, for sprinkling (optional)
Line a shallow baking tin, about 30cm x 20cm with baking paper.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a large heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Ensure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Allow the chocolate to melt, stirring gently once or twice. Remove from the heat and allow to cool a little. Fold in the chopped almonds.
Add the Turkish delight, marshmallows, cranberries and cherries and fold to just combine all the ingredients. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
Sprinkle with the freeze dried raspberries, if wished. Leave to set at room temperature then cut into large pieces. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
