Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 150 grams mini marshmallows
- 200 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
- 75 grams peanuts (optional, unsalted, chopped)
- 100 grams Halloween candy (candy eyes, gummy worms, candy corn, etc.)
- 50 grams white chocolate (for drizzle)
- 1 drop orange food coloring gel
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Melt the mixture over a simmering pan of water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and glossy.
Set aside the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, crushed digestive biscuits, and peanuts (if using). Pour about 3/4 of the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and fold gently until fully coated. Reserve the remaining 1/4 for the topping.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin, pressing it down gently to ensure an even layer.
Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the top and scatter your Halloween candy (e.g., candy eyes, gummy worms, candy corn) decoratively across the surface.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth. Stir in a drop of orange food coloring gel to achieve a vibrant Halloween orange.
Drizzle the orange-colored white chocolate randomly over the top for a festive finish.
Refrigerate the tin for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is fully set.
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the Rocky Road out of the tin. Cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy your spooky, crunchy, chocolatey Rocky Road Halloween Squares!
