Rocky Road is simply a magic way to get as many delicious flavours in one mouthful as you can! This Rocky Road Chocolate brownie combines two of my favourite things.
While I don’t make it often Rocky Road is a special Christmas treat here, I have found many recipes over the years, but the best is from my dear friend Alison. It contains only a few ingredients but is absolutely sensational. There are two versions, a White Chocolate Rocky Road and a Milk Chocolate Rocky Road, each of them so decadent and absolutely divine.
For this Rocky Road Chocolate Brownie I wanted to bring in those gorgeous flavours and textures to one of my favourite recipes. So my One-Pot Brownie is having yet another makeover, a Christmas Makeover! I do have other brownies and all of them would be delicious with these same added ingredients. On its own the brownie is divine, add to this macadamias, marshmallows, white chocolate, coconut and turkish delight and its a complete winner!
I think what makes this brownie special is that there are so few ingredients, but together they make the most delicious moist rich brownie. Also the cooking time isn’t too long, although you find the more ingredients you add the longer the cooking time is, although still around 30-40 minutes.
So to my brownie I have added white chocolate, marshmallows, macadamias, turkish delight and coconut. The same divine ingredients added to Alisons special rocky roads. These rocky roads are certainly is perfect for a special occasion and wonderful for a Christmas time treat or dessert. Also super versatile so if you are not able to eat nuts or coconut you can simply omit them or replace them with an alternative.

Rocky Road Chocolate Brownie
A beautiful combination of my favourite Rocky Road and my favourite One-Pot Brownie.
Ingredients
Brownie
- 170 grams Butter, melted
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla Essence
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 3 Eggs
- 1 Cup Cocoa Powder
- 1/3 Cup Flour
Rocky Road Bits
- 2 Rows White Chocolate, each piece cut into 4
- 10 Marshmallows, cut into quarters
- 8 mini Turkish Delights, cut into quarters
- 1/3 Cup Desiccated Coconut
- 1/2 Cup Macadamias, cut in half
Topping
- White Chocolate Drizzle or Icing Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 175C (350F) Bake
- Line a 23-25cm tin with baking paper, using a spray or oil to help paper stick. Allow an overhang of paper to make removing brownie easier after baking.
- In a large microwave proof bowl melt the butter in 30 second bursts until completely melted
- Add the sugar, vanilla and salt to the butter, and whisk well for at least a minute until it begins to come together slightly.
- Add the eggs one and a time - whisking well in between until completely combined
- Add the cocoa and flour and stir until just combined.
- Add to this the rocky road bits! White chocolate, marshmallows, turkish delight, coconut and macadamia nuts. Fold these gently into the mixture.
- Spoon into the prepared Pan
- Bake for 25 minutes then test - may take up to 40 minutes (the deeper the brownie mix the longer it will take to cook)
- The brownie is cooked when moist crumbs stick to a skewer or it comes out moist but clean and it feels firm to the touch. You do not want uncooked batter.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin
- Once cooled remove using the baking paper overhang and pop on a wire rack.
- Slice and Serve with an icing of dusting sugar or a melted white chocolate drizzle
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- This recipe also freezes beautifully, wrap well and place in freezer once completely cooled.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Prepare the Rocky Road Bits before starting the brownie
You can make this in a food mixer, melt butter first then add to the food mixer bowl and follow steps as above
The ideal brownie is cooked when no batter sticks to the inserted knife, instead it should be moist or have a few moist crumbs attached, remove from oven and do not over cook
