Rocky Roads

Rocky Roads

I think the best part about rocky roads is that there is no baking involved! They're quick and easy to throw together and also so versatile. You can really play around with the different fillings that you add (I know not everyone likes raisins for example!) You can make them a bit more festive by adding orange zest and cranberries, or keep them classic and add even more chocolate in the middle.

They're fun, delicious and indulgent and enjoyed by everyone!

  • Can I make these gluten free?

    If you swap the regular biscuits for gluten free ones, you have a perfectly delicious gluten free treat!

  • Can I make these dairy free?
    The reason why these rocky roads are so delicious is because of the butter and chocolate. Saying that, the recipe will still work for vegan alternatives but the taste may be a bit different

  • My rocky roads fell apart when I cut them, even though they were fully set

    This may be because you didn't press the mix down into the tin firmly enough before setting them in the fridge. The rocky roads will stay together if everything is pressed and compact in the tin

  • I only have an 8 inch tin, will this recipe still work?
    The best part about this recipe is that you can actually make it in any size or shaped tin. I prefer a classic square as it's easier to cut, but you can go smaller, larger, more rectangular or even circular. The rocky roads will be thinner or thicker if you do change the shape but the recipe will still work the same

  • Grease and line the baking tin with baking paper and set aside

  • In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate, butter and golden syrup

  • Place over a saucepan filled with water on a medium heat and slowly melt the chocolate, butter and syrup together

  • Whilst it's melting, in a large bowl, crush up the biscuits using the end of a rolling pin - you want a mixture of larger and smaller chunks, but not crumbs

  • Once the chocolate, butter and syrup is melted, pour over the crushed biscuits and use a rubber spatula to mix together

  • Add the marshmallows, raisins and white chocolate into the bowl and mix until everything has an even coating of chocolate

  • Pour all of the contents of the bowl into the lined tin and using the spatula, press it down to make it flat and compressed as possible

  • Top off with extra pieces of biscuit and marshmallows, ensuring they stick onto the surface

  • Set in the fridge for at least 2 hours

  • Once set, cut into bite sized pieces and enjoy

  • The rocky roads will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fired for up to 2 weeks
