Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 150 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams mini marshmallows
- 75 grams mix of chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios)
- 50 grams dried cranberries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large heatproof bowl, break the dark chocolate into pieces. Add the butter and golden syrup.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir gently until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes, so it’s warm but not scorching hot.
Meanwhile, place the digestive biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin. Aim for a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks for texture.
Stir the crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, and dried cranberries (if using) into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and spread it out evenly, pressing down gently with a spatula to compact it into an even layer.
Refrigerate the tin for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture sets and becomes firm.
Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the Rocky Road out of the tin. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into 12 squares or jumbles.
Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
