Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 2 ½ cups (590 ml) milk or dark chocolate, chopped
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) golden syrup (or honey/corn syrup)
Biscuit and Candy Mix:
- 1 ½ cups (210 grams) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 1 ½ cups (225 grams) Maltesers (whole and slightly crushed)
- 1 cup (50 grams) mini marshmallows
Flavor Enhancer:
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Extra Maltesers and melted chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Create a cozy double boiler or use microwave to gently melt chocolate, butter, and golden syrup, stirring until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Incorporate vanilla extract for an aromatic enhancement.
- Crush biscuits into rustic fragments and transfer to a spacious mixing vessel. Tumble in mini marshmallows and whole Maltesers for textural intrigue.
- Pour the glossy, molten chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients, gently folding to ensure comprehensive coverage and an even distribution of components.
- Select a rectangular baking pan and line with parchment paper, allowing slight overhang for easy removal. Transfer the chocolate-coated mixture into the prepared pan.
- Using a spatula or clean hands, compress the mixture firmly and evenly, creating a smooth, compact surface. Strategically scatter additional Maltesers across the top for visual appeal.
- Optional: Drizzle extra melted chocolate in elegant patterns for decorative flair.
- Carefully transfer the pan to the refrigerator and allow the rocky road to set completely, approximately two hours or until firm to the touch.
- Once solidified, lift the parchment paper to extract the entire block. Slice into precise squares using a sharp knife, creating uniform portions.
- Serve chilled and relish the delightful combination of textures and flavors.
Notes
- Use a silicone spatula for smooth chocolate melting, preventing scorching and ensuring even consistency.
- Crush Maltesers roughly to maintain texture and create delightful chocolate malt pockets throughout the rocky road.
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular biscuits with gluten-free graham crackers or digestive biscuits to accommodate dietary needs.
- Experiment with chocolate types like dark, milk, or white to customize flavor profile and create unique variations of this classic dessert.
