Salted Caramel Rocky Road

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the butter, brown sugar, and cocoa powder in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: Use a double boiler if you have one, or a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval.

2. 2

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the milk chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

   Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.

3. 3

   Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.

   Tip: Be careful not to add too much, as this can cause the mixture to seize up.

4. 4

   Pour the mixture into a greased 20x20cm baking dish and smooth the top.

   Tip: Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.

5. 5

   Once the chocolate mixture has set, melt the salted caramel sauce in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth and warm.

   Tip: Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the caramel to seize up.

6. 6

   Spread the melted caramel sauce over the top of the chocolate mixture and smooth the top.

   Tip: Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.

7. 7

   Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth and melted.

   Tip: Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause the chocolate to seize up.

8. 8

   Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the caramel sauce and smooth the top.

   Tip: Let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating or freezing.

9. 9

   Once the chocolate has set, sprinkle the pecans and sea salt over the top of the chocolate layer.

   Tip: Be careful not to overdo it with the pecans, as this can make the dish overly nutty.

10. 10

    Cut the rocky road into 6 equal pieces and serve chilled.

    Tip: You can also add marshmallows on top of the chocolate layer for extra fun and texture.
