Rocky Road

Well Rocky Road bars aren’t exactly the healthiest thing you can eat – far from it – but they are great to make for parties or to throw in your bag for when you need an energy boost. Here is the recipe I use

  • 125g soft unsalted butter
  • 300g milk chocolate broken into pieces
  • 3 tbsb golden syrup
  • 200g biscuits (something like rich tea)
  • 100g mini marshmallows (or big marshmallows chopped up)

    Preparation method

    1. Heat the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a heavy-based saucepan over a gentle heat. Remove from the heat, scoop out about 125ml of the melted mixture and set aside in a bowl.
    2. Place the biscuits into a plastic freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin until some have turned to crumbs but there are still pieces of biscuit remaining.
    3. Fold the biscuit pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture in the saucepan, then add the marshmallows.
    4. Tip the mixture into a baking tin lined with baking paper and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
    5. Pour over the reserved 125ml of the melted chocolate mixture and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
    6. Refrigerate for about two hours or overnight.
