Easy Rocky Road

My eldest Son loves this recipe, in fact he reckons it’s the best thing that I make!  It’s quick to do, and uses ingredients that you’d probably have in your store cupboard.  It’s great for an afternoon treat, or even a bake sale.  There’s no baking involved, just some melting!

Ingredients

  • 200g Digestive biscuits (Rich Tea or even Ginger Nuts could be used)
  • 135g unsalted butter (or margarine)
  • 200g chocolate (I use supermarket own make milk chocolate)
  • 2.5 tbsp golden syrup
  • 100g Cruchie bars, chopped (you could add popcorn, nuts or dried fruit instead)
  • 100g mini marshmallows (or chopped large marshmallows)

 

Instructions

  1. Grease and line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
  2. In a large saucepan, over a gentle heat, melt the butter, chocolate and syrup.  Stir constantly until there are no lumps left.  Then remove from the heat to cool.
  3. Break up the biscuits into pieces (these can vary in size) and cut the Cruchie bars into slices.
  4. Add the biscuits, Crunchie pieces and most of the marshmallows to the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until everything is completely covered.
  5. Tip the mixture into the lined tin, making sure to spread it out to the corners.  Sprinkle the remaining marshmallows on top.
  6. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then cut into 12 pieces.

Enjoy!
