Recipe: Mummy's Rocky Road.

We're big Rocky Road fans in our household -- my Mum even made me a giant Rocky Road 'cake' for my 21st birthday. And when a Rocky Road craving struck me earlier this week, I knew it'd be impossible not to indulge!

So here's my recipe for curing your Rocky Road needs. The great thing about Rocky Road is that it's so adaptable. Want a more chocolatey taste? Skip the milk chocolate and just double up the dark. Looking for something a little nuttier? Chop up some walnuts or bung in some flaked almonds. Or perhaps a fruitier flavour? Add some raisins or glacé cherries. The options are endless!

 100g Dark Chocolate.
 100g Milk Chocolate.
 2 tbsp Golden Syrup.
 135g Butter.
 100g Mini Marshmallows.
 150g Digestive biscuits.
 50g Oreo biscuits.
 Icing Sugar to dust.

1. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Set aside for later.
2. Pop the biscuits into freezer bags and whack with a rolling pin. You want some crumbs but to also keep some decent sized bites of biscuit too. Set aside for later.
3. Put the chocolate (broken into pieces), syrup and butter into a microwavable bowl. Warm the mixture in the microwave until the ingredients are melted -- be sure to stir the mixture every 20-30 seconds and watch closely to prevent burning. Remove from the microwave just before the chocolate has completely melted and stir the mixture to finish it off.
4. Combine your broken up biscuits & marshmallows with the chocolate mixture. Coat all the pieces of biscuit & marshmallow with the chocolate, then tip the mixture into your pre-lined baking tray, evenly spreading out the mixture from corner to corner.
5. Place the tray into the fridge and leave for at least 2 hours. In the mean time, feel free to lick the chocolatey bowl & spoon!
6. Once the Rocky Road has set, dust the top with a little icing sugar and cut into bars/squares. Oh, and try not to eat the whole lot in one sitting!

This is one recipe I've yet to let John try. Partly due to the amount if sugary ingredients and partly due to the fact I eat it all myself just fine!
