Easter rocky road ingredients.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Yes! You can substitute the dark chocolate with milk chocolate for a sweeter and creamier flavor. Just use the same quantity – 400g (14 oz). This variation works beautifully if you’re making Easter rocky road for kids or prefer a less rich chocolate base in your slice.

Can I use mini filled eggs instead of solid eggs?

Absolutely! Mini filled Easter eggs with gooey centers like caramel, truffle, or fondant are delicious in this recipe. They melt slightly into the rocky road slice, creating extra bursts of flavor and surprise in every bite. Use a mix of filled and solid mini eggs for the best texture.

What can I use instead of Smarties or mini eggs?

You can easily swap out the Smarties or mini chocolate eggs for other fun Easter candy. Try chopped chocolate Easter bunnies, M&M’s, mini marshmallows or even jelly beans. It’s a great way to use up leftover Easter chocolates and add your own twist to this no bake Easter rocky road.

Ingredients
 
 

Dark chocolate layer
  • 400 g (14 oz) dark chocolate block
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut, or finely shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped, skin on or off
  • 2 cups regular-sized pink & white marshmallows, chopped in half

  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup small solid chocolate Easter eggs, I used Cadbury

Method
 

Dark chocolate layer
  • Line Tin: Line a 7×11 inch (18×28cm) brownie or slice tin with parchment paper. Set aside.
