Ingredients
- 400 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup
- 150 grams mini marshmallows
- 200 grams digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
- 75 grams peanuts (optional, unsalted, chopped)
- 100 grams Halloween candy (candy eyes, gummy worms, candy corn, etc.)
- 50 grams white chocolate (for drizzle)
- 1 drop orange food coloring gel
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate, unsalted butter, and golden syrup. Melt the mixture over a simmering pan of water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted and glossy.
Step 3
Set aside the melted chocolate mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, crushed digestive biscuits, and peanuts (if using). Pour about 3/4 of the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and fold gently until fully coated. Reserve the remaining 1/4 for the topping.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin, pressing it down gently to ensure an even layer.
Step 6
Drizzle the reserved melted chocolate over the top and scatter your Halloween candy (e.g., candy eyes, gummy worms, candy corn) decoratively across the surface.
Step 7
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each round, until smooth. Stir in a drop of orange food coloring gel to achieve a vibrant Halloween orange.
Step 8
Drizzle the orange-colored white chocolate randomly over the top for a festive finish.
Step 9
Refrigerate the tin for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is fully set.
Step 10
Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the Rocky Road out of the tin. Cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy your spooky, crunchy, chocolatey Rocky Road Halloween Squares!
