Christmas Rocky Road

Rock road is just a great way to use up leftover cakes, biscuits and dried fruit after a good baking session. For this recipe I have added broken up mince pie for a Christmas vibe. Good dark chocolate makes sure the rocky road is not too sweet and the fruit give a great flavour.

Ingredients

Makes 12 -1 6 portions

100g digestive biscuits

100g left over mince pies chopped into chunks

100g sour cherries

135g butter

230g 70% dark chocolate

3 tbsp golden syrup

100g mini marshmallows

70g melted white chocolate to decorate

Here’s how

Break the biscuits up in a bowl and mix together with the sour cherries, chunks of mince pies and mini marshmallows.

Melt the butter, chocolate and golden syrup together in a mixing bowl sat over a pan of simmering water.

Pour the biscuits, cherries, mince pie chunks and marshmallows into the melted chocolate and mix together.

Line a 20cm square brownie style tin with parchment paper and press the mixture in.

Using the back of a spoon smooth out the mixture, then drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top to decorate.

Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
