Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with sunflower seeds or omit nuts altogether.
• Add dried fruits like cranberries or cherries for a tart contrast to the sweetness.
• Use dark or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate to suit your taste preferences.
• Toast the peanuts lightly for extra crunch and a deeper flavor.

Storage

Store your Rocky Road in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. It can also be frozen for up to 1 month—thaw before serving. Keep it cool to prevent melting and to maintain the texture of marshmallows and toffee.

FAQs

Can I use a microwave instead of a double boiler to melt the chocolate?

Yes, you can melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Use 20–30 second intervals and stir well between each.

What if I don’t have Lotus Biscoff cookies?

Any crunchy cookies you like will work well—digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or chocolate chip cookies are great alternatives.
