Ingredients

Yummy rocky road with Maltesers, marshmallows and malted milk biscuits

250 g Dark chocolate
200 g Milk chocolate
200 g Butter or baking spread
150 g Golden syrup
100 g Malted milk OR digestive biscuits (Broken up)
75 g Mini marshmallows (gelatine free if serving to vegetarians)
200 g Maltesers
75 g Malteser Teasers or Maltesers Buttons (optional)
35 g Maltesers

How to Make Maltesers Rocky Road

Step 1: Prepare the Tin

Line an 8 square tin with baking paper. Grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate Mixture

Put the butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate in a pan. Melt together on low heat, stirring as it melts. Once melted and combined, remove from heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Mix the Fillings

Prepare a mixing bowl filled with broken-up biscuits, mini marshmallows, Maltesers, and optional Malteser Teasers.

Step 4: Combine Chocolate and Fillings

Pour about two-thirds of the chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl of fillings. Stir well to coat everything in chocolate.

Step 5: Transfer to Tin

Pour the mixture into the lined tin. Smooth down then add the remaining chocolate mixture to fill any gaps. Tap the tin on the work surface a few times to help fill in gaps and remove air bubbles.

Step 6: Decorate with Maltesers

Add remaining Maltesers on top; cut some in half and dot them around for decoration.

Step 7: Set in Fridge

Place in the fridge overnight or for 3–4 hours until set.

Step 8: Slice and Store

Remove from tin and slice into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks for best texture.

Now you have a delicious batch of Maltesers Rocky Road ready to enjoy!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Maltesers Rocky Road can be easy, but there are a few common pitfalls to watch out for.

Wrong chocolate choice: Using low-quality chocolate can result in a less flavorful rocky road. Always choose good quality dark and milk chocolate for the best taste.
Not cooling the mixture: Skipping the cooling step can cause the marshmallows to melt too quickly, resulting in a gooey mess. Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool before mixing.
Overmixing ingredients: Stirring too much can break down the biscuits and marshmallows. Mix gently to keep some texture for a delightful crunch.
Improper storage: Storing rocky road improperly can lead to it becoming stale or overly soft. Use an airtight container for freshness.
Skipping the fridge time: Not refrigerating long enough will yield a soft rocky road that falls apart easily. Be patient and let it set completely overnight or for at least 3-4 hours.
