My youngest brother's absolute favourite thing to make (and eat!) is rocky road. I'm not a massive fan of the glacé cherries that seem to feature in most British recipes so we made up our own version which is very indulgent.
You will need:
200g amaretti (almond) biscuits
100g white chocolate
300g plain chocolate
175g butter (cut into little chunks)
4 tbsp golden syrup
A big bag of Maltesers (we used a 135g family-sized one)
2 Crunchie bars
50g mini marshmallows
Put the amaretti biscuits into freezer bags and smash into large chunks using a rolling pin. You don't want dust, more biscuity boulders. Keep the Crunchies in their wrappers and also gently bash with the rolling pin to break them up a bit.
Break up the white and plain chocolate and melt together with the butter and golden syrup. We did this in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds on the top setting, but it can also be done in a bowl over boiling water.
Once your chocolate is all melted and the butter/syrup is stirred through, you can then pour in your biscuit boulders and broken Crunchies.
You can then pour in your bag of Maltesers - it's quite nice to keep them whole as they look brilliant when you cut through the finished product!
Add the mini marshmallows and give it all a good stir to coat everything in the chocolate. Press the mixture into a container lined with clingfilm or a non-stick baking tray (which is what we did).
Pop the container in the fridge for about 3 hours until the chocolate has cooled and gone completely hard. The rocky road then just needs to be cut into slices (little ones because it is so rich...and then you can also get away with eating lots of them!)
If you don't like amaretti biscuits or almonds then that can easily be substituted for any other biscuits such as digestives or rich teas.
As long as you add 400g of chocolate in total you can use any type you like!
