Last night, inspired by the hugely addictive Masterchef Australia, I decided to make rocky road, at least as I remember it as a child. I must say, as I've been handing out at work this morning, the results were perfect:
3 parts milk and 1 part dark chocolate (use Swiss or high quality high coco content NOT cooking chocolate which is foul). I used about 300 grams of milk and 100 grams of dark. A small packet of red glace cherries (candied cherries),
1/2 cup of roasted cashew nuts,
1/2 cup of finely ground chocolate cookie (I used Tiny Teddies which I put through the food processor, because I couldn't find a plain choclate cookie in the supermarket).
2 cups of pink marshmallows, chopped up with kitchen scissors.
1/2 cup of dessicated coconut
Melt the choclate in a glass dish in the microwave on LOW for 3 or 4 minutes, check to see that it's just melted. In the meantime, line a glass dish with baking paper.
Combine all the ingredients in the melted choclate and pour (rather push) into the baking dish, then into the fridge. One it's set, takes a couple of hours. Remove from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature (too difficult to cut otherwise).
