Easiest Malteaser Rocky Road (No Bake Recipe)

If you love an easy chocolate treat that looks impressive but takes hardly any time, this Malteaser Rocky Road is such a delicious option.

This no bake rocky road is made with simple ingredients, it comes together in one bowl, and is a perfect recipe to make with kids.

You don’t need any fancy equipment or oven, just a heatproof bowl, some good quality chocolate, and a handful of your favourite mix-ins like mini marshmallows, digestive biscuits, and crunchy Malteasers.

The best thing? It’s just as fun to make as it is to eat!

Why You’ll Love This Malteaser Rocky Road

• No-bake and foolproof! Melt, mix, and set.

Ingredients

• 10 digestive biscuits, broken into small pieces
• 1 cup mini marshmallows (or cut regular size marshmallows into small pieces)
• 1 cup Malteasers
• 200g milk chocolate (or dark chocolate, if you prefer a richer flavour)
• 100g unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp maple syrup

Optional Topping:

• 100g melted white or milk chocolate (I used milk chocolate)
• 1 tsp coconut oil or butter
• Extra Malteasers, crushed or whole

Instructions

1. To prepare your tray, line a 9×9-inch square tin with parchment paper or greaseproof paper.
2. Place your digestive biscuits in a large mixing bowl and crush them gently with a rolling pin, you want a mix of small crumbs and larger chunks for the best texture.
3. Stir in the mini marshmallows and Malteasers with the digestive biscuits.
4. Then add the chocolate and butter into a separate heatproof bowl, set the bowl over a pan of hot water (on low heat) or melt in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
5. Add the maple syrup and stir until smooth.
6. Combine the melted chocolate mixture over your biscuit mix and stir until everything is evenly coated and glossy.
7. Tip the rocky road mixture into your prepared square baking tin. Press it down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula.
8. Add your toppings (optional). Melt 100g chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil for a smooth top layer, then scatter extra Malteasers over while still soft.
9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Use a large sharp knife to cut into squares once set.

Tips for the Best Malteaser Rocky Road

• Use room temperature ingredients so the chocolate doesn’t seize when mixing.
• For a different twist, try half milk and half dark chocolate for a richer flavour.
• If you prefer a less sweet version, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to balance the sweetness.
• Store your rocky road slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Storage

• Keep in the fridge for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
• If you are keeping the rocky road at room temperature, it will be fine for a few hours if serving at a bake sale or party.
