This mint rocky road recipe is one you can save for Christmas! I made mine in time for us to enjoy it over December and every bite was full of mint flavour. I made a wreath shape using a silicone Bundt mould, just to make it look pretty.

Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Mint Rocky Road ♥
Let’s talk about rocky road
The first time I ever came across this sweet treat was when my friend Bev whipped up a batch. This was well into my adulthood and I loved how simple it was to make. She used milk chocolate, marshmallows and biscuits, and it was really sweet. I then came across an ever sweeter version when Dave and I shared a slice of Tiffin in Scotland. Usually prepared in a tray, it is served in chunks, much like a brownie. A while back, Sammie shared her recipe for one shaped like a wreath, for Christmas. The idea really sat in my head until I decided to make my minted version.
A variety of ingredients
I much prefer using dark chocolate as the binding ingredient for a rocky road. The bitterness of the chocolate is offset by all the other ingredients you can add in. Marshmallows to me are an optional ingredient and for ease, if you add them, the mini ones are easier to work with. Biscuits are a must have ingredient. And the nice thing here is you can use any flavour of biscuit you like. Think of ginger biscuits to add extra flavour. Or Oreos to add some contrast. You can add candied fruit for punch of flavour, or freeze fried fruit for texture. And talking of texture, what about toasted coconut flakes? And then there are a variety of nuts which can be added after toasting them and chopping them up.
My mint rocky road
This is all about the chocolate! I used plain biscuits for crunch, and marshmallows to give a contrast in the mouth feel. For the flavour I broke up a slab of Aero Peppermint chocolate, and Lindt Mint Chocolate. Melted 80% dark, sugar free chocolate was used to bind this all together. You have to be a fan of mint to make this, and if you want to ramp up the mint aspect, I suggest you use biscuits that have a mint flavour.

Am grinning! Of course I am! Not my kind of recipe . . . huh! You have ‘fooled’ me before ’cause when I get to the ingredient list I am likely to be nodding 🙂 ! Altho’ your photos are not coming up, this recipe will be tried! Love mint . . .
Oh, I wonder why my photo is not showing? We had a small sliver last night and the mint part is my favourite 🙂
Sounds like a perfect recipe to use up some holiday sweets 🙂
I think so too 🙂
Yes!!!! I’m going to make this for my husband on his birthday! He loves mint and chocolate.
I hope he loves this!

Not to worry 🙂 ! I’m on wifi here and the latter was obviously on a diet . . , all well now !!!
good to hear!
A yummy treat for kids and adults alike.
For sure, we are enjoying it a lot!
this sounds great Tandy. I love mint chocolate, and Aero bars. Great idea to use dark chocolate; I tend to use Lindt 70% for everything. This reminds me of the hedgehog slices we used to make as kids. You threw in marshmallows and broken up biscuits and chocolate and so on. Have a fab month.
cheers

I lvoe the name hedgehog slices! I might ‘steal’ that 😉
Mint is one of my favourite flavours, we would love this. I think it would make a fabulous dessert for any time of year. I also like it’s not dependant on nuts for texture, crunch etc. Thanks Tandy, I’m thinking I must make this.
Please let me know if you do 🙂
Such a fun twist on the old classic. And it looks dangerously delicious, too 🙂
Thank you Ben 🙂
