FAQs

Can I use different nuts or dried fruits?

Yes, you can customize your Rocky Road with any nuts or dried fruits you enjoy. Just make sure they are chopped into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.

What if I don’t have a microwave or double boiler to melt chocolate?

A double boiler is the best method, but if you don’t have one, place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir gently until the chocolate melts smoothly.
