Easter Rocky Road
This Easter rocky road is a delicious combination of chocolate, biscuits and nuts, with the addition of gooey, chewy giant marshmallows.
Ingredients
- 800g g dark chocolate
- 175 g unsalted butter
- 60 ml golden syrup
- 200 g digestive biscuits roughly chopped or crushed
- 50 g hazelnuts roughly chopped
- 50 g raisins
- 50 g maltesers
- 8-10 Epic Snax Giant Toastin' Marshmallows
- Handful mini eggs to decorate
Instructions
- Grease and line a 9 x 9-inch loose-bottomed square tin with parchment paper.
- Chop 400g of the chocolate into small pieces and put into a heatproof bowl along with the butter and golden syrup. Set over a smaller saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water and melt, stirring every now and then until completely melted and smooth.
- Chop the biscuits, or pop them in a freezer bag and bash them with a rolling pin to get big- and little-sized crumbs. You want some pieces to crunch and some sandy rubble. Put these in another large bowl.
- Chop the Brazil nuts roughly with a sharp knife and add them to the bowl, along with the cranberries, Maltesers and marshmallows.
- Pour over the melted chocolate mixture and mix well, using a wooden spoon.
- Once combined, scoop everything into your prepared tin and level the surface as best possible. You will have lumps and bumps as the marshmallows are so big!
- Chop the remaining 400g of dark chocolate and place in a clean heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to melt. Stir every now and then until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the rocky road, being sure to cover all of the marshmallows sticking out the top, then scatter the mini eggs over.
- Place the rocky road in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up.
- When it's set and you're ready to serve, take a sharp chef's knife and run it under hot or boiling water. Wipe dry with a teacloth, then cut your rocky road into bars or squares. The hot knife will help avoid your chocolate from cracking or the knife sticking to the marshmallow, and make for a cleaner cut.
