Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams butter
- 100 grams golden syrup
- 200 grams digestive biscuits
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 100 grams unsalted roasted peanuts
- 50 grams dried cranberries
Instructions
Line a 9x9 inch baking tin with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal of the rocky road.
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place them in a large heatproof bowl.
Add the butter and golden syrup to the chocolate, and set the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Ensure the bowl does not touch the water.
Stir the mixture occasionally until everything is completely melted and smooth. Remove it from the heat.
Place the digestive biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin, leaving some larger chunks for texture.
Stir the crushed biscuits into the melted chocolate mixture.
Add the mini marshmallows, roasted peanuts, and dried cranberries to the chocolate mixture, folding gently to disperse evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin, pressing down with the back of a spoon to level the surface.
Transfer the tin to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Once set, use the parchment paper handles to lift the rocky road out of the tin.
Cut into 16 squares or desired sizes, and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
