This month was a cheap one, we decided to bake/make something together. Neither of us had made Rocky Road before, and we both like it (nom) so we figured we’d give that a go.
I actually didn’t think it would be as easy as it was… feels like a bit of a cheat!
Recipe (makes a tray’s worth):
Chef monkey demonstrates our ingredients!
- 100g Dark Chocolate
- 100g Milk Chocolate (this balances it out for me, it’s too rich otherwise)
- 2-3 tbsp Golden Syrup (depends how soft you want it – I recommend 2)
- 135g Butter or Margarine
- 100g Mini Marshmallows
- 200g Digestive biscuits (about half a pack)
- Glacier Cherries (optional)
- Dried Cranberries (optional)
- Anything else you like!
Neither of us really like nuts in things but if you do then they’d be a nice addition.
Method
-
Heat the butter, chocolate and syrup in a saucepan over a low heat.
-
Break up the biscuits. A freezer bag is useful here! Crush them but leave some pieces of biscuit for texture.
- Chop up your other ingredients to suit taste.
-
Bung the biscuit and any other ingredients into the melty mix.
Looks… appetising…?
-
Grease a tin or tray (or line it with cling film) to stop it sticking.
-
Pour your mixture in and even it out with a spatula.
-
Put it in the fridge! Takes an hour or two to set.
-
Dust with icing sugar if you like.
That’s it! Told you it was easy. It was really, REALLY tasty – we’ll be making it again for sure.
See you next month!
