Ingredients
- 250g dark chocolate 70% chopped
- 115g unsalted butter soft
- 35g golden syrup
- 50g marshmallows mini
- 75g digestive biscuits crushed
- 55g glacé cherries chopped
- 40g dried cranberries
- 40g desiccated coconut
- 50g pecan nuts chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch square tin with parchment paper and set aside. Ensure you leave enough overhang to make it easier to remove the rock road from the tin. Place a saucepan of water over a high heat and allow to come to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- To a heatproof bowl that can fit over the saucepan, add the dark chocolate, butter and golden syrup then place the bowl over the saucepan ensuring the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. If the bottom is touching the water then remove some of the water. Melt all the ingredients together while continuously stirring. Once the chocolate, butter and syrup are fully melted, set the bowl aside to cool.
- Once cooled, pour out ⅓ of the chocolate and set aside. To the main bowl of chocolate, stir in the mini marshmallows, digestives, glacé cherries, dried cranberry, desiccated coconut and chopped pecans. Continue to stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the square tin and use a palette knife to spread the mixture evenly in the tin. Pour the left over ⅓ of chocolate on top and spread evenly. Place the tin in the fridge for 2 - 3 hours to allow the rocky road to set. Cut into 16 squares then serve.
