Rainforest Rocky Road

INGREDIENTS
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1½ Tbs gelatine
½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp ground lemon myrtle
1 tsp lemon juice
cornflour
500g dark chocolate chips
200g roasted macadamia nut pieces

METHOD
To make the marshmallow, place sugar, water, gelatine, lemon myrtle and cream of tartar in a small saucepan; simmer for 10 minutes.

Pour into a bowl and whip, adding lemon juice.  Keep whipping until light and airy, and completely cool.
Pour mixture into a sheet pan lined with baking paper, heavily dusted with cornflour to prevent mixture from sticking to the paper.  Let set to firm.

While marshmallow is setting, melt chocolate and allow to cool slightly, but still remain in melted form.
Cut marshmallow into cubes and toss lightly in cornflour to keep from sticking together.

To assemble the rocky road, line a sheet pan with baking paper, coat the paper with a thin layer of melted chocolate; add half the marshmallow cubes, sprinkle with macadamia pieces.

Drizzle a generous layer of melted chocolate over the top, then repeat with the remaining marshmallow cubes and macadamias, drizzling remaining chocolate on top.  Place in the refrigerator to set.
Cut—and yum!
