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!

Chocolate Rocky Road

5oz/125g chocolate
5oz/125g butter/spread
6oz/160g digestive biscuits, crushed to large crumbs
1 tbsp golden syrup
2oz/50g raisins
2oz/50g glacé cherries
2oz/50g mini marshmallows

Use a square tin approx 8”, and line the base with parchment.  Melt the chocolate, syrup and butter in the microwave, stirring occasionally.   Add the raisins, cherries and half the marshmallows and tip it all into the tin.  Level it up, decorate with the remaining marshmallows and chill for approximately an hour.  Cut into bars/squares. 

Be warned:  This does not last long!
