Introduction

Ingredients

• 500 grams white chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup mini marshmallows (use a mix of colors for a fun look)
• 1/2 cup mixed nuts (almonds, peanuts, or pistachios), roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup dried fruit (like apricots or cranberries), chopped
• Optional extras: biscuit pieces, colorful candy, or sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preparation:
   • Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang the sides for easy removal.
2. Melting the Chocolate:
   • Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can melt it over a double boiler on the stove.
3. Combining Ingredients:
   • Once melted, let the chocolate cool slightly. Then, fold in the marshmallows, nuts, and dried fruit until they are evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.
4. Setting the Mixture:
   • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with your choice of optional extras like more marshmallows, candy, or biscuit pieces.
   • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
5. Serving:
   • Once set, lift the rocky road out of the dish using the overhanging parchment paper. Place on a cutting board and slice into bars or squares.
