Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups Maltesers (whole and slightly crushed)
- 1 ½ cups digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 2 ½ cups (16 oz) milk or dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup (4 oz/113 g) unsalted butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) golden syrup (or honey/corn syrup)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Extra Maltesers and melted chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Chocolate Fusion: Gently melt chocolate, butter, and golden syrup using a double boiler or microwave method, stirring until achieving a silky, uniform texture. Incorporate vanilla extract into the glossy mixture.
- Ingredient Integration: In a spacious mixing vessel, combine crushed biscuits, mini marshmallows, and Maltesers. Cascade the molten chocolate over the dry ingredients, thoroughly coating each element for maximum flavor distribution.
- Preparation & Setting: Carefully line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage. Transfer the chocolate-coated mixture into the prepared pan, pressing firmly to create an even, compact layer. Embellish the surface with additional Maltesers and optional chocolate drizzle for visual appeal.
- Chilling & Serving: Refrigerate the creation for approximately two hours, allowing it to solidify completely. Once set, slice into precise squares, revealing a decadent, textured treat ready to be savored.
Notes
- Use low, gentle heat to prevent burning or seizing; stir constantly and remove from heat when just melted for smooth, glossy texture.
- Break biscuits into varied sizes for interesting texture – some fine crumbs, some larger chunks create delightful contrast in each bite.
- Reserve some whole Maltesers for topping to ensure beautiful presentation and extra crunch when slicing the rocky road.
- Allow rocky road to set completely in refrigerator; cutting too early might cause crumbling and uneven squares with messy edges.
