Nutella Rocky Road!

Easy no-bake Nutella rocky road with Ferrero Rocher, hazelnuts, digestives, marshmallows and Nutella!

Nutella rocky road 

I do of course realise it really wasn’t that long ago that I posted my Kinder Bueno rocky road, but I honestly and really couldn’t help posting this rocky road as well. It is divine. Similar in a way to my Kinder Bueno rocky road, but different enough to warrant a new recipe post of course. Soft, crunchy, gooey, and utterly indulgent, this is the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers. Perfect for sharing, or keeping all to yourself. 

I made it quite different in the sense of it has quite a few more ingredients. I went for a milk chocolate base, with Nutella and a smidge of butter, just like I do in my Biscoff rocky road (but with Biscoff of course). It makes it not completely rock solid like my Kinder Bueno one, but a smudge softer so its easier to cut and enjoy.

Hazelnutty

But anyway… the Nutella comes through so beautifully where its not completely overpowering, but it makes the chocolate a DELIGHTFUL nutty flavour. The addition of the chopped hazelnuts gives an extra crunch that you will adore, along with the crunchy insides of the Ferrero Rocher.

The Ferrero Rocher are optional, but oh my daaaaays they’re lush. I adore the fact that when you chop into the rocky road you can see the innards of the Ferrero Rocher, but it also gives another nutty crunch and delightfulness. Again, they are optional, but damn they’re worth it if you can include them!

Just like my Ferrero Rocher & Nutella no-bake cheesecake, I simply LOVE THIS RECIPE SO MUCH. Like, can I say that enough?! This is also a no-bake recipe, so its incredibly easy. Yeah you have to use a few bowls, but imagine licking all those bowls clean! Yummmmmm!

Rocky road

I think I might be slightly addicted to making rocky roads… they’re just too good to resist! Chocolate, biscuit, marshmallows, and a few other ingredients come together to make something simple, delicious, and universally loved. Each batch feels like a little creative adventure, and the variations are endless.

What I adore most about rocky roads is how easy it is to customise them. You can switch up the chocolate, add different nuts, include dried fruit, or even add a favourite candy for a personal twist. Every batch is slightly different, and that’s part of the fun, it keeps me coming back for more.

Another favourite part is the satisfaction of cutting into a set tray and revealing all the gooey layers, crunchy nuts, and hidden treats inside. Using a large, sharp 26cm chef’s knife makes it a lot easier, and with a little confidence, you can get neat, clean cuts without cracking. Presentation matters, and a tidy cut really shows off all the delicious layers.

More Nutella and Ferrero Rocher recipes

As you may have guessed, I absolutely adore Nutella and Ferrero Rocher, both separately and together. Their flavours are indulgent, comforting, and always crowd-pleasing. On my blog, you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy them in all sorts of bakes, perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or just treating yourself.

I have several yummy recipes on my website fit for any occasion such as Nutella and Ferrero Rocher tart, Nutella fudge, Nutella stuffed cookies and Ferrero Rocher drip cake which is as indulgent as it sounds! Each recipe brings out different qualities of the chocolate and hazelnut combo, and experimenting with them is half the fun.

I also love pairing these flavours with other textures… like crunchy biscuit bases, soft sponges, or creamy fillings. It’s amazing how versatile Nutella and Ferrero Rocher can be, and the combination is always a winner. Honestly, once you start baking with these ingredients, you’ll find yourself dreaming up new creations all the time.

Tips & tricks

• I used milk chocolate for this, but you can easily use dark chocolate as well.
• I decided to use Ferrero Rocher in the rocky road, as well as decorating on top. This is because when Ferrero Rocher are on offer, I like to buy a lot… but I realise its expensive, so its optional.
• This recipe will last for 1+ weeks, in the fridge. And outside the fridge on a cold day. 
• I recommend this tin.
