Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 50 grams unsalted peanuts (optional)
- 50 grams dried cranberries (or raisins, optional)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the edges for easy removal later.
Break up the digestive biscuits into small, bite-sized chunks. You can do this by placing them in a ziplock bag and gently crushing them with a rolling pin—be careful not to over-crush them as you want some texture.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir gently until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly (about 3-5 minutes) so that you don’t melt the marshmallows when mixing.
Stir the mini marshmallows, biscuit chunks, peanuts, and dried cranberries into the melted chocolate mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Press down gently to compact the mixture, ensuring there are no large gaps.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the Rocky Road is completely set and firm.
Once set, lift the Rocky Road out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer it to a cutting board and cut into 12 squares or smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch, if desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
