Oh dear. Wednesday we gave you chips, and then today we throw you some delicious yet calorific delights. We strongly suggest if you plan on attempting either (or both) recipes this weekend you also incorporate some vegetables into your meal plan. Or maybe just do the whole salad thing next week.

Rocky Road is my favourite. I love a marshmallow. And a rich tea biscuit. Combine these with chocolate and golden syrup and I’d say you’ve got yourselves the perfect afternoon* treat.

If you do decide to give these a whirl then please take a picture, post on instagram and tag @rockmystyleblog so we can be suitably impressed by your efforts.

*afternoon?! who am I kidding, I like a generous chunk for breakfast.

Method

  1. Heat the butter, chocolate and golden syrup in a heavy-based saucepan over a gentle heat. Remove from the heat, scoop out about 125ml/4½fl oz of the melted mixture and set aside in a bowl.
  2. Place the biscuits into a plastic freezer bag and crush them with a rolling pin until some have turned to crumbs but there are still pieces of biscuit remaining.
  3. Fold the biscuit pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture in the saucepan, then add the marshmallows.
  4. Tip the mixture into a 24cm/9in square baking tin and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  5. Pour over the reserved 125ml/4½fl oz of the melted chocolate mixture and smooth the top with a wet spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for about two hours or overnight.
  7. To serve, cut into 24 fingers and dust with icing sugar.
