Rocky road is a great recipe for any novice bakers out there or anyone who doesn’t venture into the kitchen very often. It doesn’t involve any actual baking so is quick and easy but more importantly, nigh-on impossible to mess up. It’s a great treat to add to lunchbox’s or picnic’s and any small human will be thanking you dearly for making it.

I N G R E D I E N T S :

350g Dark or plain chocolate

150g Salted butter

4tbsp Golden syrup

250g Cookies or biscuits (honeycomb would be great also)

150g Mini marshmallows

Anything else you would like to add - nuts, raisins, glacé cherries etc

M E T H O D :

1. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bain-marie (glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water without the water touching the bowl), stirring constantly to be sure the chocolate doesn’t burn.

2. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the golden syrup. Break up the cookies into small pieces by placing in a freezer bag or tea towel and bashing with a rolling pin (or put them in a food processor and 'pulse' a few times). 

3. Add the cookies and marshmallows as well as any extras to the chocolate mix. Pour the mixture into a square, lined tin and push the mixture into the tin until it covers evenly.

4. Leave the mixture to chill in the fridge for at least four hours, but preferably overnight, to set. Remove from tin once chilled, cut into pieces and enjoy.
