Rocky Road

I haven't put many posts up about baking prior to now, mainly because whenever I bake I eat everything really quickly and never get any time to take photos of it looking pretty. It's either that or I generally bake in the evening time when the flat is enveloped in a wonderful shade of grey!

Anywho, it's high time I share my love of baking with you so let me introduce you to what I believe to be one of the most unhealthy things I have ever baked.....actually I don't think it counts as baking but...whatevs!

I have been wanting to make rocky road with turkish delight in it for ages.
This recipe has been adapted from Jamie Oliver's Rocky Road Kill. Now don't get me wrong, I love Jamie Oliver but this recipe is just a tad excessive...even for me.

Looking pretty disgusting

Looking better




I changed it up a little by adding some turkish delight ( lemon and rose flavoured), glace cherries, chocolate digestive biscuits, weetabix, and chocolate chip cookies. I know, this recipe really did not need more chocolate in it but in for a penny, in for a pound.

I didn't really go down the whole nut road, Im not a big fan of them in chocolate.

If you do ever try to make this recipe, I would suggest adjusting the amount of chocolate you use. One of the main reasons I added in more biscuits is because the mixture was so wet and I had run out of digestives!

There are no measurements with regards to what I added in, I went with the 'throw it in and it'll be fine' approach and it worked out pretty well. I brought them into uni and they went down a hit!

  1. I made a sort of rocky road at christmas with crunchie bits init - if you like honeycomb I would highly recommend adding it although, as you said, it's not like it needs any more chocolate :)

  2. I love rocky road- I made it on Monday as a reward for giving up chocolate for Lent, haha! Slightly counterintuitive, I know...

    Thanks so much for your comment about SLT by the way- I'd love to ask you a few questions, if that's okay? Do you have an email address I could get you on!?
