melt in a double boiler or microwave (30-second intervals, stirring in between). Add butter if using, and stir until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and crispy rice cereal. Mix until everything is well coated in chocolate.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking tray. They don’t need to be perfect — the rustic, rocky look is part of the charm!
Pop the tray into the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the rocks are firm.
Sprinkle with sea salt, gold dust, or any toppings you love before the chocolate fully sets for that gourmet touch.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Swap hazelnuts with almonds, peanuts, or even pistachios.
- Add a handful of mini marshmallows for a rocky road twist.
- Use white chocolate and dried cranberries for a festive version.
- Package them in pretty boxes or jars — they make amazing homemade gifts!
