Rocky Road

This is my recipe for rocky road. It's really easy to make and it's very difficult not to impress with it. I originally used the Nigella Recipe available on the BBC website but the more I've made it the more I've changed it.

Ingredients:

200g Unsalted Butter
500g Dark and Milk chocolate (depends how rich you want it)
5tsp Golden Syrup
135g Maltesers (One share bag)
100g Chocolate Digestives
100g Marshmallows (Smaller ones rather than the big ones)
Icing Sugar to decorate.

Method:

1. Melt the butter, golden syrup and the Chocolate in a saucepan over a very low heat. I would also melt 10g of marshmallows in there too.
2. Whilst this is melting (make sure to keep a constant eye on it!) Put the digestives in a plastic bag and back with a rolling pin, don't bash so hard that it all becomes crumbs because you do want larger chunks as well.
3. Once the chocolate mixture has completely melted remove about a third and place it in a jug. Then take the rest of the mixture off the heat.
4. Once you've left the mixture for a few minutes stir in the malteasers, chocolate digestives and the rest of the marshmallows.
5. Pour the mixture in to a deep baking tray and level it out. Then with the remaining chocolate mixture pour that over the top. This will create a smoother finish.
6. Once it's cooled a little place in the fridge for at least 3 hours but overnight is best.
7. Once you've removed from the fridge, dust the rocky road with the icing sugar.
