This quick and easy Turkish Delight Rocky Road is a delicious chocolate treat and also a great gift for friends.
I love making Rocky Road and this Turkish Delight version is so tasty!The combination of almonds, Turkish Delight, marshmallows and chocolate is such a hit.
For this recipe I used both milk and dark chocolate because I like the flavour and balance of the two together, but you can use what ever chocolate is your favourite.
Rocky road is so versatile! You can use whatever ingredients you have on hand: nuts, dried fruit and even chocolate bars like Turkish Delight. Check out my caramilk or white chocolate and pistachio versions.
I like to cut the Turkish Delight into large slices so that when you cut up the Rocky Road (once it has set), you can still see the nice dark red pieces inside.
How to make turkish delight rocky road:
This recipe is so easy to make, first of all melt the chocolate in a glass bowl in the microwave. It takes around 2 minutes but keep checking on it so it doesn't burn. Once it is melted stir together and let it cool a little bit.
Add the chopped roasted almonds, Turkish Delight and marshmallows to the melted chocolate and stir together. Pour into a lined baking tray and chill in the fridge until set. This takes about an hour.
Once set cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
This recipe is a great one to get the kids involved by stirring it all together and adding ingredients into the bowl. It’s also one of my favourite recipes to make because it’s so tasty licking the bowl and spoon afterwards.

Thank you so much, Deborah. The Turkish delight version is one of my favourites too!
The texture is somewhat between a homemade marshmallow and soft jelly. Enjoy and store: Turkish delight keeps well stored in a dry place for up to 1 month. Layer the candy between sheets of parchment in an airtight container on your countertop in a cool, dry place away from light and heat.
Our answer. The Rocky Road does keep fairly well as it does not contain any particularly perishable ingredients, however it is best to dust the bars with icing sugar (confectioner's sugar) just before serving. Once you have made the bars, store them in an airtight box in a cool place for 1-2 weeks.
Turkish delight or lokum (/lɔ. kʊm/) is a family of confections based on a gel of starch and sugar. Premium varieties consist largely of chopped dates, pistachios, hazelnuts or walnuts bound by the gel; traditional varieties are often flavored with rosewater, mastic gum, bergamot orange, or lemon.
Yes your Turkish Delight will still be good to eat. Sometimes my son-in-law's family send huge boxes of sweets, and even though we love them we cannot eat 20 lbs at once. We also seal in vacuum bags and have opened things as much as 12 months later and still found them to be tasty.
Our original Rocky Road is still as popular as ever with sweet marshmallows, crunchy nuts and red wine jelly covered in delicious milk chocolate. Hide it somewhere if you don't want to share! Ingredients: Milk chocolate, marshmallows, red wine jelly, peanuts, almonds.
Stir to coat all the pieces in the chocolate then pour into your prepared tin in an even layer. Don't press it down too much, you want quite a bumpy 'rocky road' surface. Leave to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight then dust with icing sugar and chop into bars or squares to serve.
This can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week at full flavour. Due to sugar content, it will last longer than that but will start to lose its full flavour over time.
In most of the world, "Aplets & Cotlets" were based on a treat called lokum, a word derived from Arabic, but the British and Americans know it as "Turkish delight."
Renowned brands like Haci Bekir, Hafiz Mustafa, Ganik, and Eyup Sultan have built a reputation for delivering the highest quality and most authentic Turkish delights. This article will showcase these esteemed brands, highlighting their unique stories and contributions to the world of Turkish confectionery.
Cream of tartar: used as an acid to help with taste and texture. Flaked salt: This will help heighten the flavour, although you can leave it out if you prefer a low salt diet. Caster Sugar: This is fine sugar; it works best for this recipe because it dissolves better without making too many bubbles.
If your rocky road is overly soft, it might be that you added too much butter or syrup or too little chocolate. To avoid mistakes with ratios, I always recommend measuring everything out before you start. If you have everything measured out in advance, you're less likely to make mistakes.
Be careful heating your chocolate – If you find that your rocky road is a bit greasy or the chocolate is feels grainy the the chocolate has possibly seized; this usually occurs when the chocolate is overheated.
Although it's important to keep your Turkish delight cool, don't store it in the fridge. Your refrigerator will draw more moisture out of your Turkish delight, causing it to sweat even after it has stabilized at room temperature. Turkish delight is best stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Store Turkish Delight Slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Alternatively, store it in the freezer in an airtight container for up to three months.
Because Turkish delight is made from sugar and then dusted in extra sugar, it keeps for up to three months. Layer it between sheets of baking paper sprinkled with more icing sugar and store in a cool dark place - not the fridge, though, as the moisture in the fridge will make the Turkish delight sweat and break down.
