Movie Night Rocky Road Recipe
This rocky road recipe is a great way to use up leftover chocolate, and it’s super quick and easy to make. I decided to combine the classic American Oreo cookie with popcorn, peanut M&Ms and marshmallows for a great mix of chocolatey flavours and textures.
There’s no strict way to make a rocky road. You can mix up the ratios, use dried fruit and nuts, and the biscuit you use is entirely up to you. The popcorn works really well here as it adds a lightness while also balancing the sweet with a hint of saltiness.
“If you do want to experiment, just ensure you have enough chocolate to cover everything and you can’t go wrong!”
Ingredients
- 200g milk chocolate
- 200g dark chocolate
- 150g unsalted butter
- 150g golden syrup
- 200g Double Stuff Oreos
- 75g mini marshmallows
- 75g sweet and salty popcorn
- Cocoa powder/edible glitter to decorate (optional)
Method
- Break the Oreos into rough quarters in a large mixing bowl. Add the peanut M&Ms, the marshmallows and the popcorn, then give it all a good mix.
- Bring some water to the boil in a small pan, roughly a third full, then turn the heat down to a steady simmer. In a glass bowl melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup over the pan. Stir constantly until you have a smooth, glossy liquid chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate over the Oreo mixture and then mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Grease and line a baking dish, then pour in your rocky road. Use the back of a spoon to press it into the corners and evenly distribute the mixture.
- Leave to set in the fridge for several hours, the longer the better!
- Once it has set, remove from the baking tray onto a cutting board. I dusted mine with some edible cocoa glitter; this is optional, but it does look great on these!
- Slice into squares and serve immediately, or store in a container in the fridge or a cool place for a chocolatey snack later.
