Easter Egg Rocky Road Ingredients

There are only a few main ingredients you need to make rocky road, but don’t feel limited only to these Easter-themed rocky road ingredients. You can totally make it your own, using these ingredients as a guide:

• Chocolate melts – I am using milk chocolate but you can swap it out for white chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel or anything else that takes your fancy. I do recommend using a good quality chocolate though, as that will mean your rocky road tastes better! The chocolate is the hero ingredient here.
• Marshmallows – That squishy marshmallow texture is an essential part of rocky road. Any size marshmallows work or even using marshmallow Easter eggs.
• Mini Easter eggs – You can use the Cadbury Mini Eggs or the M&M speckled eggs plus a mix of other flavoured mini chocolate eggs, like Cadbury Creme Eggs, Oreo eggs, Caramilk or anything else that takes your fancy.
• Lollies – Gummy lollies work best. I grabbed a bag of mixed soft lollies on this occasion, but my favourite for rocky road are the Allens Raspberry lollies for that sweet flavour they add.
• Pretzels – Adds a little bit of a salty crunch to your rocky road recipe.
• Coconut oil – This is optional, but adding a small amount of coconut oil can help when it comes time to cut your rocky road into pieces, making it a little easier than cutting solid chocolate.

How to Make Easter Rocky Road With Mini Eggs

The best thing about this Easter dessert recipe is how easy it is to make, which makes it a great Easter treat to make with the kids! Aside from a little help with melting chocolate, most of the steps they can do themselves.

Step 1: Prep

Prepare by lining a medium slice tray with baking paper so that the sides of the paper overhang.

Prep Tip: If you live in a warm climate, place your mini eggs in the refrigerator for an hour or two before making your rocky road (or in the freezer for 20 minutes) to help prevent them from melting when you mix them through the melted chocolate.

Step 5: Finish

Once fully set, carefully use a knife to cut the rocky road into squares, ready to eat! You can lift the rocky road out of the tray, using the baking paper and place on a chopping board, to make it much easier to cut.

Ingredient Substitutions for Easter Rocky Road

This Easter rocky road slice is one of those recipes where you will likely never make it exactly the same each time, and that’s part of the fun. Every time I make it, I mix in a different combination of lollies and mini eggs, or I might use a different type of chocolate.

You can substitute milk chocolate for a richer dark chocolate or white chocolate, or try with a Caramilk (it’s soooo good).

For your mix-ins, use whatever mini eggs you have. You can use mini marshmallows or chop up large marshmallows, use Oreo cookies or give it an Aussie twist with some chopped Tim Tams. The options are endless!

How To Store Rocky Road

Rocky road can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

This means you can make it well before Easter and pop it in the freezer a month or more before. A great way to save time on your Easter food prep!
