Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base:
- 300 grams (10.5 ounces) dark chocolate (min 70% cocoa solids)
- 125 grams (4.4 ounces) soft butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
Crunchy Elements:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) rich tea biscuits
Topping:
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) mini marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Gently heat butter, chocolate, and golden syrup in a saucepan over low temperature, stirring continuously until achieving a glossy, uniform consistency.
- Carefully extract 125ml of the molten chocolate mixture, reserving it for later use.
- Place biscuits inside a sealed freezer bag and methodically crush using a rolling pin, creating a varied texture of fine crumbs and irregular chunks.
- Incorporate the crushed biscuits into the remaining warm chocolate base, then delicately fold marshmallows throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the combined mixture into a parchment-lined square baking tray, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- Drizzle the previously reserved chocolate over the top, smoothing it into a uniform layer using a spatula.
- Refrigerate for approximately 6 hours or overnight, allowing the rocky road to solidify completely.
- Once set, slice into 24 uniform finger-sized pieces and dust lightly with a delicate sprinkle of icing sugar before serving.
Notes
- Customize biscuit texture by adjusting crushing technique for desired crumb size and crunchiness.
- Experiment with different chocolate types like dark, milk, or white to create unique flavor profiles.
- Prevent marshmallows from sinking by slightly cooling chocolate mixture before adding them.
- Make gluten-free version by substituting regular biscuits with gluten-free alternatives like almond or rice crackers.
