"If you're Curtis Stone, the answer is yes. The Australian chef doesn't like marshmallows, so when he makes his Christmas rocky road, an Aussie tradition, he skips them. The thing with this holiday fudge dessert is that it is pretty customizable, so if you don't want to put something in it, you can swap it out for another ingredient that you prefer. In Chef Stone's case, he likes to swap out the marshmallows and swap in dried fruit."
"However, the UK and Australian versions of this sweet treat are a bit different.This rocky road is a lot like fudge in that it is a no-bake chocolate bar filled with different mix-ins. It can be made with various ingredients, including chocolate, biscuits, nuts, marshmallows, candies, or dried fruit. There's even a case to be made about adding peanut butter cups to rocky road, though that's more unconventional than omitting marshmallows."
Rocky road is a customizable no-bake chocolate fudge-like bar that commonly includes chocolate, nuts, and marshmallows in the American version. UK and Australian versions emphasize chocolate combined with dried fruit and biscuits rather than marshmallows. Australian chef Curtis Stone dislikes marshmallows and makes a Christmas rocky road that replaces them with dried fruit such as raisins or dates. Ingredients for rocky road can include chocolate, biscuits, nuts, marshmallows, candies, peanut butter cups, or dried fruit. Variations allow swapping or omitting mix-ins according to preference, producing diverse regional and personal interpretations of the confection.
