Ingredients:
500g quality dark chocolate, roughly chopped
1 ½ cups sliced strawberries, plus more to garnish
1 cup pomegranate seeds, plus more to garnish
1 cup pistachio nuts, plus more to garnish
1 cup coconut chips/flakes, plus more to garnish
small handful of fresh mint leaves, plus more to garnish
Method:
Line a loaf tin with baking paper and set aside.
Melt the chopped dark chocolate in the microwave stirring with a metal spoon every 30 seconds until melted and smooth, or on the stovetop in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie).
Put all of the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and give it a mix. Pour the melted chocolate over top and mix well to coat.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, pushing the mixture into the corners. Decorate the top with some extra sliced strawberries, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, coconut chips and mint leaves. Leave it for an hour or two to set or pop in the fridge to chill it quickly.
Once the chocolate has set, remove from the rocky road from the tin and baking paper, and place onto a chopping board. Use a large sharp knife to cut into bars or small bite-size pieces.

This recipe is best made fresh on the day or night before you plan to eat it. Store it in the fridge and eat within 2-3 days while the fruit is fresh or pop pieces in the freezer to keep for longer.
