Ingredients

For the rocky road

250 g Dark chocolate
250 g Milk chocolate
200 g Butter
150 g Golden syrup
100 g Digestive biscuits broken into pieces
75 g Mini pink & white marshmallows gelatine free if serving to vegetarians

Sprinkles optional

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Line an 8" square tin with baking paper. I grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick to it
Put the butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate and milk chocolate in a pan and melt together on a low heat, stirring together as it melts
Once it's fully melted and combined, take the pan off the heat
Prepare a bowl with the broken up biscuits, chopped cherries, marshmallows and about the chopped up Celebrations. Stir together
Pour about two thirds of the chocolate mixture into the bowl of biscuits etc. and stir to fully coat the fillings with chocolate
Pour the whole lot into the lined tin, smooth down then add the remaining chocolate mixture to fill in any gaps and smooth it out
Add the Celebrations chocolate to the top to decorate, and some sprinkles too if you like
Put in the fridge overnight, or for 3-4 hours to set
To serve, remove from the tin and chop into slices using a sharp knife
If you store the rocky road in an airtight container it can be kept for 1 - 2 weeks, and up to 3 weeks in the fridge. It is best kept in the fridge

Notes

You can use a baking spread like Stork in rocky road, but I much prefer using butter as I think it tastes better.
I used digestive biscuits for this rocky road, but you could also use shortbread or another biscuit like Hob Nobs.
You can use any combination of dark or milk chocolate that you like, or even make it all milk or all dark chocolate! Just make sure it reaches the total amount of 500g.
I use Freedom Marshmallows in all my rocky road as they are vegetarian (they haven't paid me to recommend them, I'm just a fan!). Many marshmallows contain beef or pork gelatine so check the packet if you are serving this rocky road to vegetarians. Freedom marshmallows are available online and in Sainsburys. There are also other gelatine free marshmallow brands like Dandies and Free From Fellows.
Golden syrup is sold all over the world, so check the international section in your supermarket if you're not based in the UK. You can also buy it online from Amazon (see link below). If you can't get hold of it, light corn syrup or glucose syrup are the closest things to it, however I've not tested this recipe with them. Please note, you will not get the same results if you omit the golden syrup.
If you don't like glace cherries in your rocky road, you can omit them.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
