ROCKY ROAD CRUNCH BARS



Rocky Road Crunch Bars image

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.

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

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 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.

  • Remove the block of rocky road from the tray and cut into 24 rectangles.
