INGREDIENTS

1x2x3x

• 2 cups Semisweet (Dark) Chocolate – chopped or chips
• 1 stick Butter
• ¼ cup Golden Syrup – or Light Corn Syrup
• 6 oz Gluten Free Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits – around 2 cups when broken up
• ½ cup Golden Raisins
• ½ cup Glace Cherries – halved or raspberry lollies
• 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
• 2 tbsp  Icing Sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan heat the chocolate, butter and syrup together over low heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted.
3. Put the graham crackers/digestives into a freezer bag and bash them into small sized pieces.
4. Take the pan off the heat. Add the cracker pieces, raisins and cherries (or raspberries) into the chocolate mixture, stirring well to make sure everything is coated properly.
5. Add the mini marshmallows and gently stir in so they are coated too.
6. Tip into the lined pan and smooth with a palate knife – it’s fine for it to look a bit lumpy and bumpy – its rocky road!
7. Refrigerate until its completely set – at least 2 hours.
8. Take out and cut into pieces with a sharp knife. I cut mine into    slightly different shapes and sizes as it adds to the rocky road effect!
9. Pile on to a plate and dust with icing sugar just before serving.

The easiest way to do this is to push the sugar through a small sieve with a spoon.

1. Decorate with Christmas figures.
