Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Large mixing bowl
• Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
• Spatula
• 9×9-inch square pan (or similar)
• Parchment paper

Ingredients Overview

• Chocolate: Forms the rich, gooey base.
• Maltesers: Add crunch and a signature malted flavor.
• Biscuits: Provide texture and substance (digestive biscuits or graham crackers work well).
• Marshmallows: Offer a soft, chewy contrast.

Ingredients

• 200 g (7 oz) milk chocolate
• 100 g (3.5 oz) dark chocolate
• 100 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup (or light corn syrup)
• 150 g (5 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, roughly crushed
• 100 g (3.5 oz) mini marshmallows
• 150 g (5 oz) Maltesers (reserve a handful for topping)

Directions

1. Prepare the pan
   Line a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. Melt the chocolate mixture
   In a saucepan over low heat (or microwave-safe bowl), combine the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, butter, and golden syrup. Heat gently, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
3. Combine dry ingredients
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, and most of the Maltesers (reserve a handful for topping).
4. Mix with chocolate
   Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well coated.
5. Assemble
   Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it down gently with a spatula to ensure an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved Maltesers on top, pressing them lightly into the surface.
6. Chill
   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Cut and serve
   Once set, lift the rocky road out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or bars. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Expert Tips

• Mix-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruits, or other candies for variety.
• Crushed biscuits: Aim for a mix of fine crumbs and larger chunks for texture.
• Room temperature serving: If the rocky road is too cold, let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before cutting to prevent cracking.
