Coffee Bean and Hazelnut Rocky Road

This is my third rocky road recipe....hm, you may now be realizing that I'm a little rocky road obsessed?  But I'm sure you can see why? Just get past the somewhat messy/homemade look of rocky road, and you'll understand.  Let me explain. Firstly, the texture contrast of rocky road is to die for. I love the hard chocolate and nuts against that squishy marshmallow.  Secondly, rocky road is so versitatle.  You can just add whatever ingredients you feel like: dried fruit, nuts, assorted chocolates; the list goes on.  This rocky road, however, served a specific purpose.  It was made for my family friends (who like coffee) as part of their Christmas hamper.  I incorporated the hazelnuts because, frankly, hazelnut and chocolate are what I consider "made for each other ingredients."   Oh, and this recipe has been scaled down (to prevent the all-too-possible over indulgence). Makes 9 medium pieces.

Ingredients
1/4 cup coffee beans
1/4 chopped hazelnuts
1/3 cup desicated coconut
120g chocolate, chopped (I used half milk, half dark chocolate)
2 1/2 tbsp butter
generous 1/2 cup white marshmallows, quartered

Method
In a large bowl combine the coffee beans, hazelnuts, coconuts and marshmallows.  Using a microwave or double-boiler, melt the chocolate with the butter.  Once melted, pour over the coffee bean-nut mixture.  Mix the chocolate through evenly.  Scoop into a throw-away foil container, or a lined tray.  Leave to set in fridge for at least 4 hours.  Cut into 9 pieces, and enjoy.
