how to make Maltesers Rocky Road
Ingredients:
- 250 g Dark chocolate
- 200 g Milk chocolate
- 200 g Butter or baking spread
- 150 g Golden syrup
- 100 g Malted milk OR digestive biscuits (broken up)
- 75 g Mini marshmallows (gelatine-free if serving to vegetarians, I use Freedom Mallows)
- 200 g Maltesers
- 75 g Malteser Teasers or Maltesers Buttons (optional)
- 35 g Maltesers
Directions:
- Line an 8" square tin with baking paper. For easier removal later, grease the tin with a little butter so the paper sticks.
- In a pan, combine the butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate. Melt them together over low heat, stirring until everything is well mixed.
- Once melted and smooth, take the pan off the heat and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, add the broken biscuits, mini marshmallows, Maltesers, and Malteser Teasers if using.
- Pour about two-thirds of the chocolate mixture into the bowl and stir until everything is coated in chocolate.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined tin, smoothing it down. Add the remaining chocolate mixture on top to fill in any gaps.
- Tap the tin gently on your work surface a few times to remove air bubbles and help the chocolate settle.
- Top the mixture with the remaining Maltesers. You may cut some in half to distribute them evenly.
- Place the tin in the fridge overnight or for 3-4 hours to set.
- Once set, remove the rocky road from the tin and slice it into pieces.
- Store it in the fridge for a firmer texture or in a cool place for a softer one. If kept in an airtight container, it can last for 1-2 weeks, or up to 3 weeks in the fridge. It is best stored in the fridge.
