Equipment

Ingredients

Base Layer

  • 450 g Chocolate Orange (15.5oz (4 x 110g Galaxy Chocolate Orange Bars))
  • 125 g Butter (½ cup)
  • 120 g Honey roasted peanuts (1 cup)
  • 190 g shortbread biscuits Broken fits into 1 & ½ cups or 6.7oz)
  • 114 g Cadbury's Chocolate Orange Fingers (22 fingers - broken into 0.5-1" pieces or 4oz of another biscuit)
  • 80 g Golden syrup (4 tbsp)
  • 65 g Mini marshmallows (1 cup)
  • 80 g Mincemeat (mince pie filling) (4 tbsp)

Topping

  • 180 g White chocolate (Around 6oz bar)
  • 150 g Ginger Creams (Biscuit/cookie sandwiches or similar) 10 biscuits (5oz) broken or try Ginger Nuts

Instructions

Base Layer

  • Butter and line a brownie baking tin with baking paper
  • Break or chop all of the biscuits into small bite chunks, no larger than 1" so that the melted chocolate can coat everything easily
  • Now add the marshmallows, nuts, and mincemeat and set aside
  • In a heavy glass mixing bowl, add the orange chocolate, syrup, and butter
  • Now gently stir and melt the chocolate ingredients while sat on top of a simmering saucepan with about 1" of water - make sure it doesn't touch the bowl* Or in short 20-second bursts in a microwave, but don't overheat. See Note 1
  • Now mix in the bowl of biscuits etc and stir until everything is coated
  • Transfer to the baking tin and press down well until everything is compacted

Top Layer

  • Break up all the ginger creams or gingerbread biscuits into chunks and set aside
  • Now melt the white chocolate - this can be done in a microwaveable bowl, then spread on top of the rocky road base
  • Immediately place the biscuits on top, pressing them down so they can set while the chocolate cools
  • Now place the rocky road in the fridge for at least 3 hours or until it has set
  • Cut it into 16 or 32 squares and enjoy with a cuppa!

Notes

Note 1:

What if my chocolate split? If you've overheated your chocolate (which can happen easily in the microwave), you might notice splitting where the fats and solids have separated. You could try adding some grated chocolate to try bringing it back together.
