Ingredients

For the Maltesers Rocky Road

200g milk chocolate
100g dark chocolate
100g unsalted butter
150g digestive biscuits, crushed
100g mini marshmallows
150g Maltesers
50g desiccated coconut (optional)

Instructions

Melt the Chocolates

In a heatproof bowl, combine the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and unsalted butter. Place over a pot of simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Combine the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the crushed digestive biscuits, mini marshmallows, and Maltesers. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.

Set the Mixture

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the rocky road mixture into the dish and press down evenly. If desired, sprinkle desiccated coconut on top.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

Cut and Serve

Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into squares. Enjoy your delicious Maltesers Rocky Road!

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Storage Tips

To keep your Maltesers Rocky Road fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can last for about a week, but we doubt it will stick around that long! If you want to make it in advance, you can prepare it a few days ahead of an event or gathering. Just make sure to keep it properly stored so it stays delicious and firm.

If you find yourself with leftovers (which is a rarity), you can also freeze the squares for future enjoyment. Simply cut them into pieces, wrap them in plastic wrap, and place them in a freezer-safe container. When you're ready to indulge again, just let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours.

Serving Suggestions

Maltesers Rocky Road can be served in various ways to elevate your dessert experience. For a delightful presentation, try serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The creamy texture of the ice cream complements the chewy and crunchy elements of the rocky road beautifully.

Additionally, consider drizzling some warm chocolate sauce over the top before serving. This adds an extra layer of decadence and makes it even more irresistible. You can also sprinkle some extra crushed Maltesers on top for an added crunch and visual appeal, turning your dessert into a showstopper!
