ROCKY ROAD CRUNCH BARS

No one is ever going to complain about having one of these in their lunchbox, and they're pretty handy to have around in a kitchen for a quick, snatched burst of energy at any time. I'm not claiming them to be a health food, but when you're talking about lunch on the run, packing quite a few calories into a small parcel can be viewed as a positive advantage. That's my view, and I'm sticking to it.

Time 2h15m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 stick plus 1 tablespoon soft unsalted butter
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces
3 tablespoons golden syrup or 1/4 cup corn syrup
8 ounces plain hard and crunchy cookies
2 cups mini marshmallows
2 teaspoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup in a heavy based saucepan. Scoop out about 1/2 cup of this melted mixture and put aside.
  • Put the biscuits/cookies into a freezer bag and then bash them with a rolling pin. You are looking for both crumbs and pieces of cookies.
  • Fold the cookie pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture, and then add the marshmallows.
  • Pour into a 9-inch square foil tray; flatten as best you can with a spatula. Pour over the reserved 1/2 half cup of melted chocolate mixture and smooth the top.
  • Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
  • Cut into 24 fingers and dust with powdered sugar by pushing it gently through a tea strainer or small sieve.

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.
