Calories 312kcal

Ingredients

  • 400 g dark baking chocolate, broken into squares, I used 75% dark chocolate & this reduces the sweetness overall
  • 2/3 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts skin off and roughly chopped
  • 150 g 2 cups regular sized pink & white marshmallows, chopped in half

Topping

  • 200 g white baking chocolate, broken into squares
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 packet small/mini solid milk chocolate Easter eggs, I used Cadbury
  • 1/4 cup Organic Times Little Gems*, or smarties

Instructions

  • Line a 9” x 12“ rectangle baking pan with parchment paper, set aside. 
  • Prepare a double boiler with a heat proof mixing bowl over simmering water.
  • Add dark chocolate to the bowl and gently melt, stirring occasionally.
  • Once chocolate is completely melted and smooth, reduce heat to low and stir through coconut.
  • Stir through chopped hazelnuts.
  • Add halved marshmallows and mix until coated in chocolate, remove from heat.
  • Carefully pour into lined pan, spreading out evenly.
  • Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes whilst you make the topping.

Topping

  • Prepare a double boiler with a heat proof mixing bowl over simmering water.
  • Add white chocolate and coconut oil to the bowl and gently melt, stirring occasionally.
  • Once chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from heat.
  • Remove rocky road base when it’s just beginning to set around the edges, the majority of it still needs to be soft but not completely liquid.
  • Carefully pour melted white chocolate over dark chocolate base, working quickly, swirl the pan around to spread the white chocolate to an even layer.
  • Unwrap and gently slice in half lengthways, the mini chocolate eggs.
  • Place eggs into white chocolate topping.
  • Sprinkle over little gems or smarties if using.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until completely hardened and set.
  • Remove from pan and slice into bars or squares.
  • Serve and enjoy!
