Ingredients you will need

• White chocolate – the star ingredient! Make sure you choose a good quality chocolate that you love to eat. Cadbury Dream or Nestle is my go-to. Cheap white chocolate won’t taste as nice. Alternatively, caramelised white chocolate like Caramilk can be used. See my tips below on how to easily melt chocolate.

• Oil – one tablespoon of oil is added to the chocolate before melting, to make it easier to slice when set. Use a neutral-tasting oil like canola or vegetable oil is best. Coconut oil can also be used, or it can be left out entirely if preferred.

For the filling;

• Biscuits (cookies) – broken sweet biscuits (cookies) are added to the slice for crunch, flavour and texture. I use Arnott’s Malt-o-Milk biscuits for a subtle malt flavour to complement the sweet white chocolate. But any sweet biscuit like white chocolate Tim Tams, shortbread, Custard Creams or Biscoff cookies will work.

• Rice Bubbles – also called Rice Krispies, Rice Bubbles add a lovely crunch, chunkiness and also help to break up any sections of solid chocolate. I highly recommend adding them!

• Raspberry lollies – I use Allen’s Ripe Raspberries, but you could also try raspberry bullets, raspberry liquorice or any other small, red raspberry lolly. Chop them into smaller pieces, so that they are easy to chew.

• Freeze-dried strawberries – add a lovely strawberry flavour to the slice. Freeze dried strawberries are shelf-stable fruit that have had nearly all of the moisture removed. The drying process removes almost all of the water content, giving them a dry, crisp texture, with an intense strawberry flavour. Any type of freeze-dried strawberries can be used, or you can swap for dried strawberries, dried cranberries or leave them out entirely.

• Marshmallows – a key ingredient in rocky road, marshmallows add a soft texture to contrast the crunchy elements, as well as giving the slice its signature bumpy “road-like” appearance. Choose a mix of pink and white, or all pink for colour contrast.

• Shredded coconut – adds a chewy texture and lovely coconutty flavour to the slice. Use thick shredded coconut, rather than the finer, desiccated coconut for best results. And make sure the coconut is unsweetened. The slice is sweet enough as it is!

• Toasted almonds – add crunch and a nutty, earthy flavour that balances the sweet ingredients. Choose whole or slivered almonds, but make sure they are toasted for a deeper flavour. Chop them into smaller pieces before adding them to the slice. Alternatively, use macadamias or pistachios. Or leave them out if you require the slice to be nut-free.

Expert tips

• Add your own individual flair – I recommend keeping the ingredients as is for a perfect combination of flavours, plus soft, crunchy and chewy textures. But you can add or remove filling ingredients to suit.
• Make sure all of the filling ingredients (especially the firm, chewy ones) are chopped small enough that they can be easily chewed.
• It will need at least an hour to set in the fridge. Once set, cut into small pieces and store it in an airtight container in the fridge at all times.
• Double the recipe for gifting or to serve over the holidays.
• Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at medium (50%) power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between. Cooking it at a high temperature can burn the chocolate.
• Use a metal spoon to stir the chocolate during the melting process. Wooden spoons can retain moisture which can make the chocolate seize.
• Work quickly – once the chocolate has melted, it is important to mix everything together and spread it into the tray as quickly as possible. The chocolate will start to cool and set as soon as it has been mixed with the other ingredients. I recommend having everything chopped and mixed into a bowl before melting the chocolate.
