Heavenly Rocky Road...


This is my mother's favourite thing that I've ever made. And probably one of my faves. This should come with a warning... it's delicious....


Melt about 300g of good dark chocolate in a medium sized pan, broken up into squares. Add about 125g of soft (preferably unsalted) butter. And 3 beautiful tablespoons of golden syrup. And whilst this is melting in the pan... it's time to make the biscuity bits.... It couldn't be more easy.... Bung about 200g of Digestive biscuits into a plastic bag and whack with a rolling pin. A perfect excuse to hit something... I have used rich tea and chocolate chip cookies instead, which both work absolutely fine. (I also added a couple of these "Cheweee" bars as well which were soooo good.) Now ideally you want some crumbs but also mostly broken-up biscuit (rocks). Now remove about two ladles-full of the melted chocolate in the pan and set aside for in a bit. Then add the crunchy biscuit bits into the pan along with a couple of handfuls of mini marshmallows (roughly 100g).
Then stir it all in and mix it up so it's all covered in the chocolate.... Put this chocolatey mixture onto a greaseproof papered  tin (8 or 9 inch wide). Flatten this mixture evenly around the tin and then lastly pour the chocolate that you reserved earlier all over the rocks of biscuit and marshmallows and even out with a spatula.

The good thing about this is there's NO OVEN baking and therefore, no burning hazard :) .... just leave in the fridge for two hours (or overnight) and cut into squares.... you decide what size you'd prefer them to be :)

Later, dust with icing sugar and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

HEAVEN.
