Time 2h2m

Yield 24 rectangular pieces, 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

9 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (250g)
5 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (150g)
6 ounces butter, softened plus extra for greasing (175g)
4 tablespoons golden syrup
7 ounces amaretti (200g)
5 ounces shelled brazil nuts (150g)
5 ounces red glace cherries (150g)
4 ounces mini marshmallows (125g)
1 tablespoon icing sugar (125g) or 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar (125g)
edible glitter, to decorate (optional)

Steps:

  • Place the dark and milk chocolate pieces into a heavy-based pan. Add the butter and golden syrup and cook over a low heat to melt and combine.
  • Place the amaretti biscuits into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin to make crumbs of various sizes.
  • Place the Brazil nuts into another freezer bag and bash in the same way.
  • Take the pan of melted chocolate mixture off the heat and add the crushed biscuits and nuts.
  • Add the glacĂ© cherries and mini marshmallows. Fold the mixture carefully to coat all of the solid ingredients with the syrupy chocolate mixture.
  • Pour the mixture into a 25cm/10in x 30cm/12in greased and lined baking tray (Swiss roll pan) and smooth the surface as much as possible (although it will look bumpy).
  • Refrigerate for two hours, or until firm enough to cut. Dust with icing sugar, then sprinkle with edible glitter if you wish.
  • Remove the block of rocky road from the tray and cut into 24 rectangles.
