PRINT RECIPE
Servings: 12
INGREDIENTS
- 225 g Block Margarine or Butter
- 125 g Dark Chocolate
- 2 tbsp Golden Syrup (see Golden Syrup note below)
- 2 tbsp Caster Sugar
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 320 g Digestives Biscuits
- 50 g Marshmallows (mini or cut-up)
- 50 g Glacé Cherries (halved)
- 50 g Blanched Almonds or Hazelnuts
- 50 g White Chocolate
EQUIPMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a 20 x 20cm (8 inch) baking tin with some greaseproof paper and set aside.
- Crush the digestive biscuits, either by pulsing in a blender or placing them in a freezer bag and hitting with a rolling pin. You want to leave some reasonable sized bits of biscuit to add some texture and crunch to your Rocky Road.
- Place into a large bowl. Add about ¾ of the marshmallows and all of the cherries & nuts. Set aside.
- Melt the dark chocolate, butter/margarine, golden syrup, sugar and cocoa powder over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave.
- Once completely melted, add to the bowl of digestives, marshmallows (ect...) and mix well, ensuring everything is coated in the chocolate mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into your pre-lined tray, pressing it down and paying special addition to the corners. Scatter the remaining marshmallows on top, pressing them into place.
- Melt the white chocolate over a bain-marie or in short bursts in the microwave, before drizzling over the top of your Rocky Road to finish.
- Leave to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight, before cutting into individual portions.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
NOTES
Golden Syrup:
Golden syrup is a classic British baking ingredient. If you don’t have any, light corn syrup is the closest substitute. For more information, including all possible substitutions, where to buy it and how to make your own, see my Golden Syrup Ingredient Guide.Storage:
Store your rocky road in an airtight container, and it will keep for up to 1 week. Alternatively, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.Tried this recipe?
