Ingredients

400g (14oz) milk chocolate, broken into pieces
225g (8oz) butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing
6 tbsp golden syrup
75g (3oz) Bournville plain chocolate, broken into pieces
500g (1lb 2 oz) digestive biscuits, roughly crushed to nut-sized pieces
4 x 32g Crunchie bars, sliced into bite-sized pieces

Essential kit

You will need: a 30 × 23cm traybake tin.

Method

Grease and line a 30 × 23cm traybake tin with non-stick baking paper.

Place the milk chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and add the butter and syrup. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and heat gently, stirring, until melted.

Place the Bournville chocolate into a small heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water until melted.

Add the biscuits to the milk chocolate mixture and fold together until well coated. Spoon into the prepared tin. Sprinkle over the Crunchie bars and press down firmly. Drizzle with the melted dark chocolate in a zig zag pattern. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours until firm.

Slice into 24 squares.

Mary’s tips: Can be made up to 3 days ahead. Freezes well.

    It is delicious I have made it the last 3 years at Christmas. I used shortbreads instead of digestives and never used the dark chocolate just more milk chocolate 😋😋

    If I were to make it again I would probably only use 400g biscuits. It was quite tough to cover them all with the chocolate mixture, which meant that it was difficult to press in the Crunchie pieces. Much as I liked it, rocky road does mean mini marshmallows to me, and I missed them.
