How to Make Maltesers Rocky Road

Step 1: Prepare the 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 Chocolate Mixture

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

Step 3: Combine Fillings

In a mixing bowl, combine the broken-up biscuits, mini marshmallows, Maltesers, and optional Malteser Teasers.

Step 4: Mix in Chocolate

Pour about two-thirds of the cooled chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl with fillings. Stir well until everything is fully coated in chocolate.

Step 5: Set in Tin

Pour the mixture into your lined tin. Smooth it down evenly. Add remaining chocolate mixture on top to fill any gaps. Tap the tin on the work surface a few times to remove air bubbles.

Step 6: Top with Maltesers

Dot remaining Maltesers on top of the mixture; cut some in half with a knife for variety.

Step 7: Chill to Set

Place in the fridge overnight or for 3-4 hours until firm.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

Remove from tin and slice into pieces. Store in the fridge for firmer texture or at room temperature for softer texture.

Step 9: Storage

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Making Maltesers Rocky Road can be simple, but certain mistakes can hinder your results. Here are some common pitfalls to watch out for:

Skipping the cooling step: Not letting the melted chocolate mixture cool can cause the marshmallows and biscuits to melt too much. Always let it cool for at least 10 minutes.
Using cold ingredients: If your butter or other ingredients are cold, they won’t mix well with the chocolate. Ensure everything is at room temperature before starting.
Overmixing: Stirring too vigorously can break down the Maltesers and marshmallows. Mix gently to keep those delicious chunks intact.
Not tapping the tin: Failing to tap the tin after pouring in the mixture can lead to air bubbles. This step ensures a smoother texture and better presentation.
Ignoring storage guidelines: Not storing your rocky road properly may affect its texture and flavor. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container.
