Prep 20-30 minutes + 2 hours to firm makes 16 squares.

Ingredients

• 500g white chocolate
• 200g vanilla and strawberry marshmellows, roughly chopped
• 150g roasted almonds, roughly chopped

• 200g red soft eating liquorice, chopped into small pieces

Method

1. Grease and line a 20cm pan with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang for easy removal.
2. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes until smooth (make sure the water bowl or the chocolate will seize and be unusable).
3. Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl, pour over the chocolate and stir to coat well.
4. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan, top with the extra strawberry pieces and set aside for about 2 hours until the rocky road is firm to the touch.
