INGREDIENTS
1x2x3x
- 2 cups Semisweet (Dark) Chocolate – chopped or chips
- 1 stick Butter
- ¼ cup Golden Syrup – or Light Corn Syrup
- 6 oz Gluten Free Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits – around 2 cups when broken up
- ½ cup Golden Raisins
- ½ cup Glace Cherries – halved or raspberry lollies
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
- 2 tbsp Icing Sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan heat the chocolate, butter and syrup together over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted.
- Put the graham crackers/digestives into a freezer bag and bash them into small sized pieces.
- Take the pan off the heat. Add the cracker pieces, raisins and cherries (or raspberries) into the chocolate mixture, stirring well to make sure everything is coated properly.
- Add the mini marshmallows and gently stir in so they are coated too.
- Tip into the lined pan and smooth with a palate knife – it’s fine for it to look a bit lumpy and bumpy – its rocky road!
- Refrigerate until its completely set – at least 2 hours.
- Take out and cut into pieces with a sharp knife. I cut mine into slightly different shapes and sizes as it adds to the rocky road effect!
- Pile on to a plate and dust with icing sugar just before serving.
The easiest way to do this is to push the sugar through a small sieve with a spoon.
- Decorate with Christmas figures.
