Classic Rocky Road with the delicious addition of crunchy Malteser chocolate malt balls.

Creamy. decadent chocolate squares filled with crunchy digestive biscuits, chewy mini marshmallows and crunchy malt balls.

Rocky Road is a no-bake slice hailing from Australia. It’s made by melting chocolate, golden syrup and butter, then mixing this chocolatey mixture with various other ingredients, before setting in the fridge. Then once set, it’s sliced up and dusted lightly with icing sugar.

This treat is a summer go-to recipe. When temperatures start rising, and I want to limit time spent in the kitchen, then it’s great. It takes under 30 minutes to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, is low effort, and easy to make.

The ingredients you need for homemade Rocky Road depend on personal preference. I start with a combination of dark and milk chocolate.

Then my preference for butter is salted. I love salted chocolate, and for me the salt balances out all the sweetness in the recipe. For a traditional Rocky Road, I used digestives, but even a chocolate digestive, Rich Tea or Malted Milk biscuit all make fabulous substitutes.

For a twist on classic Rocky Road, we’ve added a bag of Maltesers. Any bake or recipe with Maltesers is a winner for me!

If you like Rocky Road and Maltesers, then you’ve come to the right place.

This is my first Rocky Road recipe, with many more creations to come in the future!

Ingredients

150 g butter (salted or unsalted)
4 tablespoons golden syrup
200 g dark chocolate roughly chopped
200 g milk chocolate roughly chopped
150 g digestive biscuits this is 10 biscuits
100 g mini marshmallows if using regular sized marshmallows just chop into smaller pieces
1 x 158 g bag Maltesers left whole

Instructions

Line a 20cm square cake tin with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the butter and the golden syrup in a medium sized saucepan and melt on a low heat. Once melted, take off the heat and add all the chopped dark and milk chocolate bars. Stir until the chocolate has fully melted.
In a large mixing bowl, break the digestive biscuits into small chunks and then add your mini marshmallows and bag of Maltesers to the bowl. Stir gently to combine. Now add the melted chocolate mixture and stir together until all the ingredients are well coated.
Tip the mixture in the tin and press down until lightly compact. Allow to set in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove the rocky road from the tin and slice up into 16 squares. Dust lightly with icing sugar before serving. You can cut the rocky road as big or small as you like. The rocky road will keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature for up to one week.
