Ingredients
  • 250g/9oz dark chocolate
  • chopped
  • 150g/5oz milk chocolate
  • chopped
  • 175g/6oz butter
  • softened
  • plus extra for greasing
  • 4 tbsp golden syrup
  • 200g/7oz amaretti biscuits

  • 150g/5oz red glacé cherries
  • 125g/4oz mini marshmallows

Directions
  • 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 glacé 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 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.
