When I saw this recipe for white chocolate rocky road, I knew that I’d have to bake it with Little One on one of our Wednesdays together. She was so excited to come to the shops with me (it has been a while because of Covid 19), and was intrigued by baking without using the oven! We had such a lovely day together this week, and this was definitely her highlight. The party rings work so well here, and I was surprised by how well they kept their crunch. It’s worth buying the mini version for the top, as they fit nicely in the baking tray.

White chocolate rocky road: ingredients

600g white chocolate

30g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

50g pistachios, roughly chopped (we ended up using blanched almonds, as our local supermarket didn’t have pistachios)

125g pack Party Rings, bashed into pieces

100g pink and white mini marshmallows

110g pack Party Rings Minis, to decorate

Method

1.Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm square baking tray.

2. Melt the white chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water, then add the butter and stir until smooth. Reserve ⅓ of the mixture.

3. Carefully take the bowl off the pan and set aside to cool for 10 mins.

4. Stir the cooled chocolate mixture to loosen; mix in the pistachios, biscuit pieces and mini mallows.

5. Tip the mixture into the tin and smooth down the top. Pour over the reserved chocolate mixture. Arrange the Party Ring Minis on the topping to decorate, gently pressing them down.

6. Chill the rocky road in the fridge for at least 2 hrs or preferably overnight, until set. Then cut into pieces to serve (the original recipe says 30 pieces, but we cut bigger ones!).

Blonde mini egg rocky road

I have a really sweet tooth, and I think this is perhaps one of the sweetest things I have ever made. I really LOVE it! This blonde mini egg rocky road is really easy to make, so it’s perfect for a last-minute Easter treat. You can basically adapt this recipe to your taste – I made a fruit and nut free version because Tom isn’t a huge fan of either of these things. So we put all the sweet things in it! I have made a couple of batches to see what works best, and we discovered that unlike some recipes for rocky road, this is best made a day or two in advance. It just gets better after waiting a bit (which is hard because it’s so good!). I also experimented with the size of the biscuit pieces, and we preferred the version where I chopped up the custard creams instead of bashing them. You could always bash half and chop the other half if you prefer.

Ingredients

250g white chocolate, broken into pieces

100g unsalted butter, cubed

2 tbsp golden syrup

150g custard cream biscuits

75g mini marshmallows (chop up larger ones if you can’t find these)

200g chocolate mini eggs, plus a few extra for the top

Method

1. Line a 20 x 30cm traybake tin with 2 sheets of cling film (in a criss-cross pattern). Put the chocolate and butter in a large bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, and melt until smooth and glossy.

2. Remove from the heat and add the golden syrup. Mix together until fully combined and leave to cool at room temperature for about 5 – 10 mins.

3. Roughly chop the custard creams into medium-sized chunks (this seems to work better than bashing them in a bag!). Stir into the cooled chocolate with the marshmallows and the mini eggs.

4. Pour the mix into the tin and press down with the back of a spoon until even. Scatter over a few extra mini eggs to make it look extra colourful, pressing them in a little. Leave to set in the fridge, preferably overnight.

5. Remove from the tin and cut into bars to serve. Will keep for up to 1 week in an airtight container – if you can make them last that long!
