Rocky Road

Why is this called Rocky Road?  Wish I knew!  I'm not going to add a label saying "contains rocks", as it clearly doesn't, as marshmallows are the total opposite.  Whatever, it is delicious, and definitely one of those terribly moreish little chocolate bites that your hand is irresistibly drawn to.  This batch went to a TA evening and disappeared quicker than I could have believed possible.  I have made this using gluten free digestive biscuits, with a spread instead of butter, and also a Kosher version using the correctly branded ingredients (nuts instead of marshmallows, plus new implements etc).  So it's a very useful cake! The only downside is that it really doesn't photograph well!

6oz/160g digestive biscuits, crushed to large crumbs

1 tbsp golden syrup
