I love making Rocky Road and this Turkish Delight version is so tasty!The combination of almonds, Turkish Delight, marshmallows and chocolate is such a hit.

For this recipe I used both milk and dark chocolate because I like the flavour and balance of the two together, but you can use what ever chocolate is your favourite.

Rocky road is so versatile! You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand: nuts, dried fruit and even chocolate bars like Turkish Delight. Check out my caramilk or white chocolate and pistachio versions.

I like to cut the Turkish Delight into large slices so that when you cut up the Rocky Road (once it has set), you can still see the nice dark red pieces inside.
