Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 125 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 75 grams chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or peanuts)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Place the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl.
Melt the mixture over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), stirring until smooth.
Break the digestive biscuits into small chunks (not crumbs) and set aside.
Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Add the broken biscuits, mini marshmallows, and chopped nuts into the chocolate mixture. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly, pressing down slightly to compact it.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
Once set, remove the Rocky Road from the tin using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 equal squares or any desired shape.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for extra flair.
