Ingredients
  

  • 10 mini gingerbread men (3 inch) or ginger nut biscuits instead
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup pretzels optional but adds a lovely salty crunch
  • 200 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g unsalted butter salted is fine too if that is what you have
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • 150 g milk chocolate for topping
  • 1 tsp butter for topping
  • 6 mini gingerbread men for decorating

Equipment

  • 1 large bowl
  • 1 measuring scales
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 Rolling Pin for crushing biscuits
  • 1 microwave/double boiler
  • 1 9x9 tray if not silicone use parchment paper
  • 1 mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x9-inch square tin with parchment paper and set aside
  2. Place the gingerbread biscuits (or ginger nuts) in a freezer bag or large bowl and crush them with a rolling pin. Leave some larger pieces for that classic rocky road texture
  3. In a large saucepan or bain marie (double boiler) over low heat, melt together the milk chocolate and butter. I use a microwave and heat in 30 second bursts, stirring as I go
  4. Once melted, stir in the maple syrup until smooth and glossy
  5. In a large bowl, add your crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, and pretzels
  6. Pour over the melted chocolate mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated
  7. Transfer the mixture to your prepared traybake tin and press it down evenly using the back of a spoon
  8. Melt your 150g milk chocolate with 1 tsp butter until smooth
  9. Pour it over the base and spread into an even layer
  10. Decorate with mini gingerbread men and festive sprinkles on top
  11. Refrigerate chill for at least 1 hour (or until firm)
  12. Use a large sharp knife to cut into squares
  13. Each square should have a little gingerbread man on top for that picture-perfect Christmas rocky road look!
