Ingredients
- 250g dark chocolate chopped
- 115g unsalted butter soft
- 35g golden syrup
- 50g marshmallows mini
- 75g digestive biscuits crushed
- 55g glacé cherries chopped
- 40g dried cranberries
- 40g desiccated coconut
- 50g pecan nuts chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch square tin with parchment paper and set aside. Ensure you leave enough overhang to make it easier to remove the rock road from the tin.
- To a medium sized bowl add the dark chocolate, butter and golden syrup. Place the bowl over a pot of boiling water and melt all the ingredients together while continuously stirring. Ensure the bowl is not touching the water. You can also do this in the microwave at 40 sec increments. Once the chocolate, butter and syrup are fully melted, set the bowl aside to cool.
- Once cooled, pour out ⅓ of the chocolate and set aside. To the main bowl of chocolate stir in the mini marshmallows, digestives, glacé cherries, dried cranberry, desiccated coconut and pecans. Continue to stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the square tin and use a palette knife to spread the mixture evenly in tin. Pour the left over ⅓ of chocolate onto the top and spread evenly. Place the tin in the fridge for 2 – 3 hours or until the rocky road hardens. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
