Scrumptious Tim Tam Rocky Road

Yes, Tim Tam rocky road! I have taken Australia's favourite biscuit and turned it into the much loved rocky road chocolate. Yes, it is as scrumptious as it sounds!

This rocky road is also packed with marshmallows and red raspberry lollies. Only four ingredients (6 if you decorate it) for a super indulgent treat, or gift for those you love.

We Aussies love our Tim Tams, but don't despair if you don't have them in your neck of the woods. You can easily swap out the Tim Tam biscuits for your local favourite cookie of choice.

Ingredients

1. Marshmallows: You can use mini marshmallows or cut up larger ones. My preference is for plain or vanilla marshmallows.
2. Tim Tams: The Tim Tam is an Australian icon, two chocolate cookies with a cream filling dipped in chocolate. You can substitute them for your favourite cookie if you would like. I used original flavour, but choose the flavour that you love.
3. Red Raspberry Lollies: Any soft raspberry lolly will do.
4. Milk Chocolate: Use your favourite eating milk chocolate, not cooking chocolate.
5. White Chocolate: This is optional for decoration.
6. Mini Tim Tams: This is optional for decoration.

Tim Tam Flavours

There are many flavours available.  In this recipe I use original flavour, but use whatever flavour you would like to experiment with.

If using ones with dark chocolate coating, I suggest using dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.  The same goes if using white chocolate Tim Tam biscuits, use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate.

Also, swap out the red raspberries with a suitable alternative if using flavoured Tim Tams, eg;

Mint Tim Tams:  You could use Peppermint Crips or other mint lollies
Caramel Tim Tams:  Use Jersey Caramels, toffee, or fudge

Recipe Walk Through

Place milk chocolate in a large bowl. Using the microwave melt the chocolate.

I blast it for 1 minute, then give it a stir. It usually has only started to melt at this stage.

Then keep melting the chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring between each one until the chocolate has melted.

Add chopped Tim Tams, chopped marshmallows (whole if using mini ones), and whole red raspberries to the bowl with the melted chocolate.

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to make sure everything is coated well with the melted chocolate.

Line a 20 x 25cm (8 x 10 inch) lamington/slice tin with baking paper.

Spoon Tim Tam rocky road mixture into the prepared tin and spread it out evenly.

It is ready to go into the fridge to set at this stage. Decorating as below is totally optional, but looks great.

If decorating your Tim Tam rocky road melt white chocolate in the microwave the same way you did the milk chocolate.

Using a spoon drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the rocky road.

You can use dark chocolate or ruby chocolate as an alternative.

Then gently press mini Tim Tams randomly over the top of the white chocolate.

Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to set. Then remove from the tin and baking paper. Cut into desired sized pieces and store in an air tight container.

Delicious rewards for such an easy recipe. If you like the idea of Tim Tam rocky road, you may also want to check out my recipe for Tim Tam spread/butter, and my Tim Tam slam cake.

This recipe is also great to cut into larger logs to give as presents. Perfect for Christmas, Easter, Mother's or Father's Day. Enjoy!
