The latest trip into the kitchen, sees myself and Lily making this simple rocky road recipe. This is number 7 of our attempts to make the recipes from the top 20 easy bakes for kids list, that we came up with. I’ve eaten plenty of rocky road in my time, but this would be my first time making it.
One thing that stuck out to me, as I was looking online for a recipe to follow. Is just how many slight variations there are to a Rocky Road recipe. In the end I picked one, and made my own slight variation. This is quite similar to the chocolate digestive fridge cake, that we have already made. The main difference is that you want to break the biscuit into much bigger chunks this time, and we are adding more ingredients.
Ingredients
- 200g milk chocolate
- 100g dark chocolate
- 250g butter
- 200g digestive biscuits
- 2 table spoons Golden Syrup
- 75g mini marshmallows (for mixture)
- 25g mini marshmallows (for decoration)
- 25g raisins
Method
- Great a baking tin.
- Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of boiling water. When the chocolate has melted add the butter and golden syrup. Stir regularly until its all melted and combined.
- Mix the biscuits, raisins and the 75g of marshmallows in a bowl and pour in the chocolate mixture. Stir until the biscuits and marshmallows are evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into a tin and refrigerate. After 15 minutes remove from the fridge and top with the remaining marshmallows. Then return to the fridge.
- Once the chocolate has set, remove from the fridge and cut into pieces.
And there it is, another easy one that require no baking. Our simple Rocky Road recipe. It was a team effort this one, as we wanted to get them made quickly, so they would be ready for a picnic in the garden. It went quite well for a first attempt, I thought the chocolate mixture was a bit too runny, and was worried it wouldn’t turn out right. But they look okay and they tasted nice, and that’s a win in my book. After a couple of easy ones, we might have to do some real baking next time! As always, thanks for reading.

Rocky Road is one of my favourites. It looks delicious and I’ve just realised I have all of the ingredients so I might have to make some myself.
Thanks, yeah we had everything all ready in, which is one of the great things about rocky road.
Thanks for sharing, this looks a lovely bake and quick to do 🙂
Thank you, really quick and simple to do, and really tasty 😀
It looks sooo good! I wish I had the ingredients at home so I could make it right now.
Thank you, they were lovely 😊
I’m looking forward to when Lily opens her own tea room 😂
Haha maybe one day 😊
You gotta love some Rocky Road, too often they don’t put the raisins in. Top marks for that essential ingredient.
Yeah, when I first came across rocky road it always had raisins, it’s seems not so much anymore.
I love rocky road cookies with plenty of chocolate and marshmallows melted into that perfect goo on top, so these look amazing! Chocolatey and probably chewy too, just the way I love my desserts. 🙂 On a side note, Cadbury makes my favorite candy bars!
They were chewy, which Lily wasn’t keen on, but myself and Jack loved 😂
This looks like something I will really enjoy!! Thanks for sharing, will try to look at this recipe sometime next week 🙂
Feel free to read some of my blogs 🙂
Oh, yum! Absolutely delicious!
Mmmm yummy I just love rocky road. One of my absolute faves.
