- 4 oz high-quality milk chocolate
- 8 tbsp unsalted butter (1 stick)
- ¼ cup golden syrup or honey 8 large marshmallows
- 8 large marshmallows or 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 5 oz cookies such as digestives or Biscoff (about 20 small cookies)
- ¾ cup unsalted nuts such as pistachios or toasted hazelnuts
- 3 oz chocolate-covered honeycomb like Crunchie bars, or you could use malted chocolate balls

Instructions

- Place a heatproof bowl on top of a pan of lightly simmering water, break in the dark and milk chocolates, add the butter and syrup or honey, and stir occasionally until melted.
- Quarter the marshmallows (keep mini marshmallows whole), break up the cookies, roughly chop or bash up the nuts, bash up the honeycomb and halve the cherries or dried fruit, if needed, then stir them into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour into the prepared dish and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, then carefully turn out.
- Break the white chocolate into a clean heatproof bowl and melt as described in step 2 (or melt in the microwave, if easier). Drizzle the melted chocolate over the rocky road, let set in the fridge, then cut up and serve.
