Because relationships can sometimes be a rocky road—and love goes through the stomach—treat yourself or your partner this Valentine’s Day with this delicious Rocky Road with edible roses and rose petals.

​

What you need:

Chocolate base

• 150 g dark chocolate

• 250 g milk chocolate

• 40 g butter

​

Filling

• 100 g marshmallows

• 100 g digestive biscuits or spritz cookies

• 50 g meringue 

• 40 g pretzels

​

Decoration

• 50 g white chocolate

• Sugar hearts

• Edible rose petals

​

Instructions:
Line a baking dish or cake pan of about 25 × 11 cm with parchment paper, so you can easily remove the Rocky Road later. Start with the filling: break or chop the biscuits, pretzels, and meringue, then combine with the marshmallows in a large mixing bowl.

​

Melt the dark and milk chocolate together with a little butter in a double boiler, stirring until you have a glossy, smooth chocolate mixture. Remove from the heat. Gently fold in the filling, taking care to keep the meringue’s soft, airy texture. Pour everything into the prepared pan and press lightly. Melt the white chocolate separately and drizzle over the mixture. For the finishing touch, sprinkle immediately with sugar hearts and edible rose petals.

​

Let the Rocky Road set in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours. Once fully cooled, cut into squares or rectangles, and your treat is ready to serve!

​

Tip: Using a warm knife will give you clean, neat pieces without cracking the chocolate.
