Ingredients

Chocolate Base

250 g Dark chocolate
200 g Milk chocolate
200 g Butter or baking spread
150 g Golden syrup

Fillings

100 g Malted milk OR digestive biscuits (Broken up)
75 g Mini marshmallows (gelatine free if serving to vegetarians, I use Freedom Mallows)
200 g Maltesers
75 g Malteser Teasers or Maltesers Buttons (optional)
35 g Maltesers

How to Make Maltesers Rocky Road

Step 1: Prepare Your Tin

Line an 8 square tin with baking paper. Grease the tin first with a little butter to help the paper stick.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolates

Put the butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate in a pan. Melt together on low heat, stirring as it melts. Once melted and combined, remove from heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Combine Fillings

Prepare a mixing bowl filled with the broken-up biscuits, mini marshmallows, Maltesers, and optional Malteser Teasers.

Step 4: Mix Ingredients

Pour about two-thirds of the chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl with fillings. Stir to fully coat all components with chocolate.

Step 5: Transfer to Tin

Pour everything into the lined tin. Smooth down then add the remaining chocolate mixture to fill any gaps. Tap the tin on the work surface several times to help fill gaps and remove air bubbles.

Step 6: Decorate with Maltesers

Add remaining Maltesers on top; cut some in half with a knife and dot them around for extra flair.

Step 7: Chill Until Set

Put in the fridge overnight or for 3-4 hours until set.

Step 8: Slice and Store

Remove from the tin and slice into pieces. Store in the fridge for a firmer texture or keep in a cool place for softer bites.

Storage Tips

If stored in an airtight container, your rocky road can be kept fresh for 1-2 weeks; it lasts up to three weeks if refrigerated. For optimal enjoyment, keeping it chilled is best!

How to Perfect Maltesers Rocky Road

To make sure your Maltesers Rocky Road turns out perfectly every time, consider these helpful tips.

Use quality chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark and milk chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
Don’t rush cooling: Allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool before mixing it with the dry ingredients; this prevents the marshmallows from melting.
Break up biscuits evenly: Ensure that your biscuits are broken into similar-sized pieces for consistent texture throughout the rocky road.
Add more Maltesers: Increase the number of Maltesers if you love that malt flavor; it enhances both taste and visual appeal.
Chill adequately: Be patient and let the rocky road chill in the fridge long enough to set properly before slicing.

Fresh Fruit Salad: A light fruit salad provides freshness and balances the sweetness of the rocky road.
Chocolate Fondue: Dip pieces of rocky road into chocolate fondue for an interactive dessert experience.
Cheese Platter: Include assorted cheeses like brie or sharp cheddar to create a sweet and savory contrast.
Whipped Cream: Serve alongside whipped cream for added richness; consider flavored options like vanilla or chocolate.
Nut Mixes: A bowl of mixed nuts can add crunch and saltiness that pairs well with the sweetness of the dessert.
Yogurt Parfait: Layer yogurt, granola, and fruits in glasses as a refreshing complement to the rich rocky road.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When making Maltesers Rocky Road, it’s easy to make some common mistakes. Avoid these pitfalls for the best results.

Overheating chocolate: Melting chocolate too quickly can cause it to seize. Always melt on low heat and stir continuously.
Skipping the cooling step: Not allowing the melted mixture to cool can lead to a runny rocky road. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes before mixing in other ingredients.
Using stale biscuits: Old biscuits can affect the texture and taste of your rocky road. Ensure you use fresh malted milk or digestive biscuits.
Not packing ingredients tightly: Failing to press the mixture into the tin can result in a crumbly rocky road. Use a spatula to pack everything down firmly.
Ignoring storage conditions: Not storing your rocky road properly may lead to loss of flavor and texture. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for best results.

Refrigerator Storage

Store Maltesers Rocky Road in an airtight container.
It can last up to 1-2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 weeks in the fridge.
