Rocky Road

While I love chocolate, rocky road is not something that I would usually choose. This version changes my whole philosophy on that. The three types of chocolate combine to make something deliciously rich. The turkish delight adds another whole dimension. Obviously you can chop and change ingredients according to what you like.

200g milk chocolate

200g dark chocolate

100g 70% dark chocolate

5 large pieces or rose flavoured turkish delight cut into 1cm cubes (use some of the icing sugar surrounding the turkish delight to prevent everything becoming too sticky as you cut through the pieces)

1/2 packet of marshmallows (I only use the white ones, I think the look and flavor is better)

¼ cup red glace cherries, halved

¼ cup cranberries

½ cup slivered almonds, toasted

½ cup coconut flakes or shredded coconut (toasted is optional)

Combine everything but the chocolate in a large bowl. Line a 20x20cm tin with baking paper. Break the chocolates into small pieces and melt them. You can do this over a double boiler or in the microwave (but make sure the microwave is on reduced heat). Mix the chocolate to ensure even melting. Pour over remaining ingredients and mix gently. Pour into prepared tin and refrigerate until set. Remove from tray, place on a chopping board and cut into squares to serve.
