🎂 How To Make Jamie Oliver Rocky Road

First, break the dark chocolate into pieces and place it in a large heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl. Let the chocolate melt, stirring occasionally.
Once the chocolate is smooth and glossy, remove it from the heat.
Next, add your fillings. Crumble the biscuits and meringues, tear up any large dried fruit, and chop the nuts if needed. Add all the fillings to the chocolate and mix well.
Grease and line a baking tray (30cm x 25cm / 12 inches x 10 inches) with greaseproof paper. Pour the chocolate mixture into the tray, spreading it out evenly and patting it down.
Then, sprinkle the sesame seeds on top if you’re using them. Put the tray in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool, harden, and set.
Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it randomly over the top of the set mixture. Let the white chocolate set before slicing into pieces. Serve and enjoy.
