I was talking to the team at my work about childhood favourite treats and Rocky Road came up so I had to try making my own version. Everyone probably knows by now my love of Lotus Biscuits and my Other Half very kindly bought a box of 300 off Amazon recently so logic clearly dictated they should be the biscuit used. This recipe is beyond easy to make with the hardest part being unwrapping all the biscuits, luckily they don't need to be kept whole. I cut this into 16 pieces as it is pretty rich but just see how you feel on the day and how many you are feeding. The addition of the vanilla extract and cinnamon help to balance the dark chocolate which in turn prevents these being too sweet.
Ingredients:
200g dark chocolate
200g lotus biscuits
3 tbsp golden syrup
130g dairy free butter
100g Glace Cherries
1 bag marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
Icing sugar for dusting
Method:
In a large bowl, crush your Lotus biscuits into a mix of dust and small chunks. Chop the marshmallows and cherries into small pieces and set to one side. Line a square baking tray with baking paper.
In a large pan, melt the butter, chocolate and golden syrup together over a low heat then stir in the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Add the biscuits, marshmallows and cherries and stir thoroughly until everything is well coated.
Tip the mixture into the baking tray and smooth out with a spatula to level off the top. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours until set or if you need it quickly place in the freezer for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the rocky road with icing sugar then cut in to chunks and serve.
When you make this, please take a picture of the results and tag me using #dairyofadefectivehousewife
Enjoy!
