Ingredients

200g milk chocolate (or a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate for richness)
100g butter-I use salted
3 tbsp maple syrup
10 whole digestive biscuits or rich tea biscuits, crushed into smaller pieces
1 cup of mini marshmallows
1 Terry’s Chocolate Orange (roughly chopped; keep a few orange segments or wedges for the top)
Optional extra 150g milk chocolate for the topping.

Instructions

Add the milk chocolate and unsalted butter to a heatproof bowl. Place it over a large saucepan of simmering water (a simple double boiler) and melt slowly until smooth. Alternatively, use a microwave and stir every 20-30 seconds until melted.
In a separate large mixing bowl, crush your digestives with a rolling pin. Leave some bigger chunks for that typical rocky road feel.
Add the marshmallows and Terry’s Chocolate Orange wedges together with the biscuits.
Pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit mix and fold everything together until coated.
Line a square tin or traybake tin with parchment paper.
Press the mixture in firmly.
Optional-melt another 150g milk chocolate and pour over the top.
Top with more chopped Terry’s wedges for the best things finish.
Leave in the fridge for 2–3 hours, or in a dry place overnight, until set.
Cut into squares with a sharp knife and serve.

How to Store Rocky Road

Tips & Variations

For Christmas add orange sprinkles, cranberries, or festive chocolates.
For an Easter twist add orange mini eggs for a fun easter baking version.
Use dairy-free chocolate and vegan marshmallows + free biscuits for a free from version.
For smaller kids swap biscuits for milk biscuits or rich teas as they can create a softer bite.
