    Oreo Rocky Road

    23/11/2020 by thebakingexplorer 10 Comments

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Delicious Oreos are encased in creamy white chocolate, along with some tasty marshmallows and fruity glace cherries. This Oreo Rocky Road is a super easy and yummy treat that you can make very quickly. It all comes together in moments, and then you just pop it in the fridge to set. No baking needed! Cookies and cream is such a delicious flavour and the white chocolate really enhances it and makes it extra yummy! You don't have to add the cherries if you're not a fan, but I love the fruity edge they bring to this treat. You could also use other Oreo flavours in this rocky road to mix it up!

    Ingredient Tips & Equipment Information

    • You can use a baking spread like Stork in rocky road, but I much prefer using butter as I think it tastes better.
    • You can use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate, or a combination of dark and milk.
    • I use Freedom Marshmallows in all my rocky road as they are vegetarian (they haven't paid me to recommend them, I'm just a fan!). Many marshmallows contain beef or pork gelatine so check the packet if you are serving this rocky road to vegetarians. Freedom marshmallows are available online and in Sainsburys. There are also other gelatine free marshmallow brands like Dandies and Free From Fellows.
    • If you don't like glace cherries in your rocky road, you can omit them.
    • Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
    • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.

    How to make Oreo Rocky Road

    In a large mixing bowl, mix together broken up Oreos, glace cherries and mini marshmallows. Reserve some Oreos for the topping. In a pan on a low heat, melt together the white chocolate and butter.

    Mix about two thirds of the chocolate mixture into the bowl of fillings until well coated. Then put that mixture into the tin and press it down. Pour the remaining chocolate mixture on top and fill in any gaps. Then decorate the top with the reserved Oreo pieces.

    What is the best kind of chocolate to use for rocky road?

    I used white chocolate callets by Callebaut for this rocky road, any good quality white chocolate will work well and taste delicious. I've also made rocky road many times using supermarket own brand chocolate. I recommend avoiding cooking or baking chocolate.

    How should you store rocky road?

    Rocky road is best kept in the fridge. It can be stored at room temperature, but it will be much softer in texture and not last as long. Stored in the fridge, rocky road can last up to 3 weeks (well technically... you'll definitely eat it before then!!) It can also be frozen either wrapped individually, or in a tupperware container or freezer bags.

    What size tin do you need for this recipe?

    I use an 8" (20cm) square tin to make rocky road as I find it produces the perfect thickness when the rocky road is sliced up. If you want to use a 9" (23cm) square tin, I recommend increasing the ingredients by 25% to retain the thickness. Or you can make it with the same amounts for a thinner rocky road.

    Who is this recipe suitable for?

    You may not know, but most marshmallows contain beef or pork gelatine, which makes them unsuitable for vegetarians. However if you use gelatine free marshmallows like I have, then the recipe will be suitable for vegetarians. My favourite brand is Freedom Mallows, but there are now several gelatine free brands available.

    Can this recipe be made gluten free?

    To make this recipe gluten free, replace the Oreo biscuits with a gluten free alternative. Please also check the labels of all the ingredients you use to ensure they are gluten free and avoid cross contamination.

    Can this recipe be made dairy free or vegan?

    To make this recipe dairy free and vegan, you can use dairy free chocolate, dairy free butter and some dairy free biscuits instead. Please also check the labels of all the ingredients you use to avoid cross contamination, and especially if you are serving to someone with an allergy or intolerance.

    How do you cut rocky road?

    I use a large sharp knife that is longer in length than the rocky road. Gently, but firmly, push it through the rocky road. Rocky road slices fairly easily as the addition of butter makes the chocolate soft enough to slice through.

    • 500 g White chocolate
    • 200 g Butter
    • 154 g Packet of Oreos broken up

    Instructions

    • Line an 8" square tin with baking paper. I grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick to it
    • Prepare a mixing bowl filled with the broken up Oreos, the marshmallows, and the glace cherries
    • Put the butter and white chocolate in a pan and melt together on a low heat, stirring together as it melts
    • Once it's fully melted and combined, take the pan off the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes
    • Pour almost all of the chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl of Oreos, marshmallows and glace cherries. and stir to fully coat the fillings with chocolate
    • Pour the whole lot into the lined tin, smooth down then add the remaining chocolate mixture to fill in any gaps
    • Decorate the top with more broken up Oreos
    • Put in the fridge overnight, or for 3-4 hours to set
    • Remove from the tin and slice into pieces. Store in the fridge for a firmer texture, or in a cool place for a softer texture
    • If you store the rocky road in an airtight container it can be kept for 1 - 2 weeks, and up to 3 weeks in the fridge. It is best kept in the fridge

      We are big fans of rocky road and Oreos in our house but I've never had a white chocolate rocky road. I love how the it helps the oreo chunks to really stand out.

        Hi Sum, I'm sorry to hear that this happened, I know how frustrating it can be when things go wrong in the kitchen. The cause of this is due to the chocolate and butter being heated on too high a heat, if you decide to try it again melt it on the lowest heat you can, or try melting them in a bain marie (a glass bowl over gently simmering water). I hope that helps and you'll give this recipe another go as it really is a delicious one! 🙂

      Hi what kind of butter do you recommend, as I have tried before to melt white chocolate and butter together on a low heat over a pan and it has split twice.

        Hi Erin, I like to use Lurpak, but you can use any butter. The reason it splits is that the heat is too high, I always say to remember that chocolate and butter will both melt in the palm of your hand and also in your mouth, so the heat really does not have to be high at all. If you are having trouble with it, then use a bain marie instead - this is when you put a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure that the water does not touch the bowl. Then add the butter and chocolate into the bowl and melt them that way. I hope that helps!
