For a fun twist, try some orange zest for a fresh aroma. These small changes make your treat even more special. Switch up the nuts for a different crunch. Try cashews, pecans, or even peanuts. Each nut brings its own flavor and texture. You can also add dried fruits like cherries or cranberries for a sweet surprise. If you want extra fun, toss in some candy pieces or crushed cookies. These variations keep your rocky road exciting and tasty. To store your chocolate marshmallow rocky road, let it cool completely first. Once it’s cool, cut it into squares.

Ingredients
  

200g dark chocolate, finely chopped

100g milk chocolate, finely chopped

100g unsalted butter, cubed

150g digestive biscuits, crushed into small pieces

100g mini marshmallows

50g nuts (walnuts or almonds), roughly chopped

2 tablespoons golden syrup or honey

A pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

Start by greasing a 9-inch square baking pan lightly with butter. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, allowing some excess paper to hang over the edges. This will help you remove the rocky road easily once set.

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the finely chopped dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and cubed unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each burst, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes depending on your microwave.

      Once the chocolate and butter are melted and incorporated, take the bowl out of the microwave and mix in the golden syrup or honey. Stir well until the mixture is completely combined with a glossy texture.

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, mini marshmallows, and roughly chopped nuts. Make sure they are evenly distributed.

          Pour the warm melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredient mixture. With a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together, ensuring every bit of the dry ingredients is coated in the chocolate mixture and evenly mixed.

            Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate which enhances the overall flavor.

              Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Press down gently to compact the mixture, ensuring it holds together when set.

                Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch and has set completely.

                  Once set, carefully lift the rocky road out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars using a sharp knife for clean edges.
