Rocky Road Style Cake

Here is my recipe for rocky road cake, I don’t nuts or fruit in my cakes so there is none of that just totally unhealthy chocolate 😀

Basic Base:

  • Chocolate digestive biscuits or chocolate chip cookies (500g)
  • 1/2 a block of butter (125g)
  • Golden syrup ( approx 125g)
  • Chocolate!!!! (lots of chocolate at least 400g)

Additional Ingredients:

(so here is where I add any kind of chocolate/sweets I love. So from many attempts and reviews from friends in work (who love cakes) this is my most common mixture)

  • 2 Crunchy bars (honey comb base covered in chocolate)
  • 2 Packets of Rolos (chocolate coated caramels)
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows
  • After eights (mint fondant chocolate)
  • Mint Aero (peppermint chocolate bar)
  • Smarties/M&M’s (candy coated chocolates)

This is the procedure, the butter, golden syrup and chocolate were melted in a big glass bowl over a pot of boiling water, this is slow but it is the best way to melt chocolate, so while the chocolate mixture was melting, the biscuits were all put into a large sandwich bag and smashed into small bits with a rolling pin, (it doesn’t matter if the biscuits are crushed into crumbs or if the biscuit bits are even sized) the biscuits were then added to the melted chocolate mixture and evenly coated in the mixture. While the mixture is still wet I then mix in the Rolos, Smarties, mini marshmallows and After eight’s. I crushed up the honeycomb and mint Aero into small pieces and add them into the cake mixture. 

I then get a big tin, lined with grease proof paper and press the cake mixture into the tin. I press it down firmly, and place in the fridge over night.

Here is there photographic proof that the cake is delicious
