Mini Egg rocky road recipe tips
There’s not a great deal that can go wrong with this recipe but life always seems to surprise us doesn’t it haha?! Here’s some helpful tips to guide you on your way to Easter rocky road success…
- Don’t forget to line your tin. I realise how obvious this seems but, speaking from experience (don’t ask!) it’s guaranteed to end in tears!!
- Feel free to mix it up and use any other leftover Easter treats you have in this! Just be sure to make sure there’s enough chocolate to bind it all together.
- Before placing it in the tin, make sure you mix it really well to ensure everything is coated and will stick together.
- Be sure to press the mini eggs firmly on the top otherwise they may fall off!
- Be patient and make sure the chocolate is completely set before slicing. It won’t end well if you don’t.
Mini Egg Rocky Road – Step by Step Picture Recipe
Here is what you will need to make 16.
(For a printer friendly version, see the recipe card at the end of this post)
Ingredients
- 400g (14.11 oz) White Chocolate
- 100g (1 Cup) Digestive Biscuits
- 150g (3 Cups) Mini Marshmallows
- 120g (3/4 Cup) Cadbury’s Mini Eggs
Essential Equipment
- 20 x 20cm (8 x 8″) Square Baking Tin
- Large Mixing/Glass Bowl
Instructions
Firstly, line the baking tin with baking paper or cling film. Then break the white chocolate (400g | 14.11 oz) into a large microwavable bowl. Heat on full power in the microwave for 30 seconds then stir well. Heat again in 10 – 20 second intervals, stirring well between each time, until it’s melted and smooth. Try not to get it too hot. (You can also melt it in a glass bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water if you don’t have a microwave.)
By hand, (not machine or rolling pin or it will become too fine) break the digestive biscuits (100g | 1 Cup) into small pieces and add them to the chocolate along with the mini marshmallows (150g | 3 Cups) and 3 quarters of the mini eggs (90g | 1/2 Cup). Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin with the back of a spoon.
Finally, randomly press the remaining mini eggs (30g | 1/4 Cup) into the top of the rocky road.
Now place it into the fridge for 2-3 hours until completely set. Once the chocolate has firmed, remove from the tin and slice into 16 pieces. Store in an airtight container and consume within 1 week. (Not that it will last that long!!)
Did I not tell you it was easy? I’m willing to bet that you (and the kids) could probably make this with your eyes shut! In all seriousness though, these really are delightful little treats. SO creamy and packed full of tasty little treats and textures!
They would make lovely Easter gifts too. Simply pop one or two into a cellophane bag and tie with a pretty ribbon. I’m not sure how many I personally could bear to part with, but it’s the thought that counts right?!
