Recipe: Rocky Roads 1.0

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

This recipe is a sort of mish-mash of ideas from other recipes. Rocky Roads are actually pretty easy to make – not so much a recipe as a ‘collect some random stuff and mush it together with chocolate’.

Anyway, this is what I made this weekend:

  • 50g Butter
  • 40g White Chocolate Buttons
  • 100g Raisins
  • 100g Marshmallows (either small, or large ones cut down smaller – random sizes are more fun)
  • 200g digestive biscuits
  • 460g Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate
  1. Melt three quarters of the chocolate with the butter. Save the remaining chocolate until the end (don’t melt it yet). Be careful not to cook the chocolate.
  2. Break the biscuits up into smaller pieces, and mix with the white chocolate buttons, raisins and marshmallows.
  3. Pour the chocolate onto the dry ingredients, and mix it all until evenly coated.
  4. Line a shallow tin with greaseproof paper, and place the mixture into it. Spread it out evenly
  5. Melt the remaining chocolate and pour it on top of the main mixture
  6. Set in a refrigerator for two to three hours
  7. Cut into slices/squares/consume as one piece

That made a pretty nice mix. I think you could put in more fruit, and definitely more buttons. You could probably also get away without having the butter, but it helps to thin the chocolate a bit and make it spread and stick better.

The end result looks vaguely like this:

23747104“Om nom nom” are the words you’re thinking of, I believe.

I might take another whack at it with more fruit. Anyway, enjoy!
