Oh boy where do I even start to share with you about this recipe?! I’ve had it for about 25 years and sadly I can’t even remember who gave me the recipe. I love Clinkers! So the first time I converted this to be made in the Thermomix was Christmas 2012. Being Christmas I thought I’d do red and green Clinker Rocky Road! Which of course meant that I just 'had' to eat all the yellow Clinkers while I was making it! As it so happens the yellow Clinkers are my favourite, so it is not unusual for us to have Christmas Clinker Rocky Road all year round because someone then has to eat all the yellow ones!! Shhhh don’t tell my family! :)
ThermoFun - Clinker Rocky Road Recipe
Ingredients
- 500g chocolate melts, milk or dark
- 20g coconut oil
- 100g baby marshmallows (set 3 aside)
- 190g Raspberry lollies. cut in half
- 300g Clinkers, cut in half
- glass of milk of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Line a slice tin with baking paper.
- Place chocolate and coconut oil into TM bowl and chop 10 sec / speed 9.
- Scrape down and melt 5 mins / 50°C / speed 1.
- Scrape down and continue melting a further 2 mins / 50°C / speed 1.
- Set TM 2 mins / 50°C / speed 1 / Reverse and while blades are moving, add Raspberries, marshmallows and Clinkers through the hole in TM lid.
- Ensure all ingredients are combined with aid of spatula, then place into prepared slice tin and cool in fridge before cutting into squares.
To clean Thermomix bowl:
- Pour a glass of milk into TM bowl and mix 5 sec / speed 8.
- Heat milk 5 mins / 80°C / speed 4.
- Enjoy warm chocolate milk. No wasted chocolate!
oh and don't forget to place the 3 marshmallows that you set aside on top of your chocolate milk!
Notes
Raspberries: the packets are usually 200g so I took that to mean that I was then allowed to eat the other 10gram while making the Rocky Road!
Raspberries can be substituted with other red jelly lollies e.g. red snakes / red frogs.
Please note that the coconut oil is not essential. It just makes the chocolate a little smoother and therefore easier to work with.

Made this for my Hubbie for Christmas. He loved it. He is currently making another batch. It is so tasty and I love the crunchy clinkers.
thermofun says
WOW that's great that hubby is making the next batch! I hope he will cook you dinner too! :)
Amanda says
I am really excited to try this for teacher's gifts (and myself of course) this is probably a very silly question but wanted to check having never made rocky road before. Can I use normal size marshmallows and just chop them up beforehand? I have a lot left from another recipe so thought I'd try and use them up.
Thanks =)
thermofun says
Hi Amanda, yes you sure can use normal size marshmallow. I would suggest you halve them. I find it easier to cut them with scissors rather than a knife.
Amanda says
Thank you so much for your reply! Can't wait to make it tomorrow =)
thermofun says
My pleasure :D
Anne says
Best rocky road ever ... whenever people try this they can't stop at eating one piece...
No words to describe just make it and you won't be disappointed!!!!
Made this for my Christmas hampers doubled the recipe so plenty for everyone.
So much nicer than Darrell Lea Rocky Road.
thermofun says
Thanks Anne :D Glad everyone loves them.
Tara says
Always a winner for morning tea & functions.
I always chuck in anything i have laying around.
Lolly snakes, peanuts etc
thermofun says
Thanks Tara - yes it is a great recipe to add whatever! :)
Joanne T Ferguson says
I am not kidding Leonie in saying this, "I think EVERYONE who has a Thermomix should make this recipe at least once in their life!"
I made this recipe in both milk chocolate and dark chocolate and LOVED learning what Clinkers were, as I had never heard of them! I know, WHAT confectionery rock have I been hiding on and more importantly, WHAT do I DO when I walk down the chockie aisle? lol lol lol I LOVED the consistency of this recipe and it was a BIG success in the gift hampers I made!
Raelene suggested these could be made in advance of my giving the hampers and placed in the freezer or fridge and they were great! I used sealed clear cellophane that were on clearance at the dollar discount store! Thank you Thank you!
thermofun says
Thanks Joanne :) It is a pleasure :) It's one of my favourites too.
Catriona says
Sweating as I drink the hot Choc but oh so delicious, can't wait to try the slice!
Meagan says
Just put it in the fridge and it looks delicious. My only suggestion is that the recipe should specify to set aside a few baby marshmallows to put on top of the hot chocolate at the end... :) Thanks for another winning recipe Thermofun!
thermofun says
oh that's a very good idea Meagan! You are the first to suggest that! I will go alter the recipe now! Thanks! :)
Juliana says
Just made it and tastes delicious! Love the tip with the milk, my kids loved it!
Thanks for sharing!

Hi, How early before Christmas can I make this? Just not sure how long it lasts for.....not long in your household perhaps!
thermofun says
Angela I'd keep it in the fridge and it would store for weeks and weeks. (but no not in my house though!!) ;)
Catie says
Hi. I'm wanting to make this for a Christmas party. I have the new thermomix, just wondering what speed "soft speed is"? I'm very new to all this. Thanks
thermofun says
Hi Catie - spoon soft means the spoon symbol just before speed 1. Enjoy! :)
TC says
I set mine in ice cube trays for easier serving and portion control. Works really well. Thanks for this recipe.
thermofun says
oh great idea - but by the sounds of it you have greater will power than I do! ;)
jax says
Ive made a version of this recipe twice. No clinkers or coconut oil just baby marshmellows, shredded coconut and raspberries. Both times were awesome and was received well by all. Its a nice addition to a party or family barbecue. The best part is the hot chocolate at the end.
Christine Kwong says
Made with macadamia nuts added. Do you think it could be made with 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 dark chocolate?
Love cleaning the bowl after!
thermofun says
Yes absolutely Christine - any combo of choc works well! I've tried them all and with a mixture! :)
Stephanie Taylor says
First batch almost sold out in one day. See pic on Facebook at Taylors Sweets & Treats. Hav requsts for a nut free version and a turkish delight version
thermofun says
Oh Stephanie that's awesome! Will have to check your page out now! My ThermoFun Clinker Rocky Road is now famous! :)
Stephanie Taylor says
Just made a trial batch which looks great! I think i'll be selling it in my shop along side my Thermo fudges & Thermo chocolate barks :) Also just enjoyed the cuppa hot chocky!
thermofun says
Stephanie, If you end up selling the ThermoFun Clinker Rocky Road in the shop can you send through some pics of it being all famous and all. :)
Karen says
Made this today - yum! Loved the hint of coconut. The perfect Easter treat. And I absolutely loved sitting down to relax with my mug of hot chocolate once the slice was in the fridge - what a fantastic tip!
thermofun says
Pleased you enjoyed it Karen! :)
Sonja says
Making this over the weekend. I am trying to convince myself that this is a better more healthy option than the fun size chocolate of choice that we currently have at night with our cup of tea. Not sure if I am winning the argument but going to do it anyway!
thermofun says
oh yes of course Sonja - WAY more healthier in my humble opinion!! ;)
