Ingredients
Instructions
- 1 To start, line a 20cm x 20cm brownie tin with greaseproof paper and set aside for later.
- 2 In a Bain Marie melt down your chocolate, butter and golden syrup until smooth and shiny.
- 3 Next, break up your shortbread and meringue nests into chunks in a large mixing bowl. Once broken up, you can add your marshmallows and half the mini eggs.
- 4 When your silky chocolate mixture is ready, pour over your dry ingredients and fold together carefully trying not to break up your chunks of meringues.
- 5 Once your chocolatey rocky road mix is ready, spoon into your lined brownie tin from earlier and flatten down with back of a spoon. When flattened, place your tray into the fridge for about an hour to set.
- 6 Now it's time to decorate! Melt down some white chocolate in a Bain Marie or a microwave for some white chocolate drizzle!
- 7 Drizzle your melted white chocolate over your rocky road and place the left over mini eggs on the top.
- 8 Place back into the fridge to set your decorations for a few minutes then taaa-daaa your mini egg rocky road is ready to be cut into portions!
- 9 Enjoy with a cup of tea this busy Easter half-term with the little ones!
Chef's Notes from The Running Fox
- No Baking Required: This is a perfect recipe for children to help with - completely no-bake! Just melting, mixing, and decorating fun.
- Bain Marie Basics: A Bain Marie is just a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. The gentle heat melts chocolate perfectly without burning.
- Gluten-Free Friendly: We use gluten-free shortbread to make this suitable for more people, but regular shortbread works just as well if you prefer.
- Gentle Folding: When mixing in the chocolate, fold gently to keep those lovely chunks of meringue intact - they add wonderful texture!
- Setting Time: The initial hour in the fridge is important for the rocky road to set properly. Don't rush this step or it won't cut cleanly.
- White Chocolate Drizzle: For easy drizzling, put melted white chocolate in a sandwich bag, snip the corner, and pipe it over in zigzag patterns.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Perfect for making ahead for Easter celebrations!
- The Foxy Way: The Foxy Bakers love serving this with a hot chocolate during the Easter holidays - pure indulgence!
