A Pinch-Me Moment
This recipe is extra special to me because it features on the back of the new Epic Snax Mini Marshmallows packaging – this feels a bit surreal to type out! Seeing one of my recipes printed on an actual product in shops is such a proud moment, and it makes this rocky road bark even sweeter knowing it’s part of a fun, feel-good collaboration celebrating easy, joy-filled baking.
Your Ingredients List
- Milk chocolate – This is the base of the rocky road bark, so make sure to use a chocolate you enjoy eating on its own. Milk chocolate keeps things creamy, sweet and classic, and sets with a lovely snap once chilled.
- Digestive biscuits – Roughly chopped digestives add that all-important crunch and stop the bark from being overly sweet. They also give the rocky road its signature texture and make each bite more interesting.
- Epic Snax Mini Marshmallows – Soft, squidgy and perfectly sized for mixing through melted chocolate and scattering on top. The marshmallows bring that chewy contrast that makes rocky road such a favourite.
- Optional toppings – This is where you can have a bit of fun. Sprinkles add colour, chopped nuts bring extra crunch, crushed pretzels add a salty twist, and dried fruit gives a little chew. Use one or mix a few, depending on your mood.
RECIPE NOTES
TASTE
Sweet, creamy milk chocolate with little pops of vanilla from the marshmallows and a malty biscuity flavour from the digestives.
TEXTURE
This rocky road bark is all about contrast. You get smooth, snappy chocolate, crunchy biscuit pieces, and soft, squidgy marshmallows in every bite.
SKILL
Beginner-friendly and completely no-bake. If you can melt chocolate and stir everything together, you’re well away!
SERVE
You’ll get plenty of pieces (10-15+) from one slab of this rocky road bark.
How To Make Rocky Road Chocolate Bark
Step 1: Melt the chocolate
First things first, chop your milk chocolate into small pieces; it just makes it easier and quicker to melt. Pop it in a big glass bowl and choose your melting technique: a gentle heat over a saucepan of simmering water or a few short bursts in the microwave. Keep stirring as you go, chocolate can be a bit diva and burn if you leave it alone. When it’s almost all melted, just let the heat of the bowl do the work for the last little chunks of chocolate instead of turning up the heat. Trust me, it saves you from that horrible seized, chocolate moment.
Step 2: Fold in the marshmallows and biscuits
Now for the fun bit, throwing everything together! Stir most of your roughly chopped digestive biscuits and mini marshmallows into the melted chocolate, making sure everything gets coated. Leave a handful of each to one side, we’ll use these for decorating the top later, and it just makes your bark look extra pretty. Give it a good fold until everything is evenly mixed. Don’t stress about perfection, a bit of unevenness just adds to that homemade feel.
Step 3: Press out the mixture and leave to set
Line a baking tray with baking paper, spoon on your chocolate mix, and press it out to about 1cm thick, rustic is the vibe, so don’t stress about perfection. Spoon over any leftover chocolate to fill the gaps, then scatter your reserved marshmallows and biscuits on top, pressing them in so they stick.
When it comes to setting, you’ve got two options:
- Quick option: Pop it in the fridge for about an hour. Pros? Fast option, perfect if you’re in a rush. Cons? It can lose a little of that glossy finish.
- Slow option: If you’ve got a bit more time, cover and leave the rocky road bark at room temperature overnight. Pros? Keeps its shine and is less likely to get melty in your hands. Cons? You’ll have to wait a bit longer before digging in.
Step 4: Break up the Rocky Road Bark
Now comes the fun part – breaking up your rocky road bark! There’s no right or wrong way here. Simply peel the slab off the greaseproof paper and use your hands to snap it into pieces, pulling the marshmallows apart. Now dig in and enjoy that crunchy, chewy, chocolatey perfection!
Customise This Rocky Road Bark With Extra Toppings
The best thing about this Rocky Road Bark (apart from how delicious it is, of course)? You can totally make it your own. Here are a few ideas:
- Fancy some extra crunch? Sprinkle over some chopped nuts or crushed pretzels (sweet and salty… yum!).
- Want something fruity? Mix in dried raisins, apricots, or cranberries, or sprinkle over some freeze-dried raspberries for a colourful, fruity pop.
- Zesty more your vibe? A tiny splash of orange or lime extract would give a zingy chocolate twist.
- Baking to celebrate the season? Mini eggs for Easter, red and green sprinkles for Christmas, pink and red Smarties for Valentine’s, or even some Reece’s Pieces for a Halloween vibe.
Recipe FAQ’s
You can grab a bag of them here. They’re the perfect size for rocky road and make this bark extra chewy and fun.
Not at all! Milk chocolate is classic and creamy, but you could swap in dark chocolate for a richer, slightly bitter bark, or white chocolate if you’re feeling indulgent. Go with whatever you love eating on its own.
Yes, it will! If you’ve got time, leave it at room temp overnight and it’ll set nicely while staying glossy. If you’re in a rush, the fridge works too, it just might lose a little shine.
Honestly, anything that tastes good with chocolate works! Nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, sprinkles, popcorn, jelly sweets. Seasonal extras are fun too, mini eggs for Easter, Christmas chocolates, pink and red Smarties for Valentine’s Day.
Keep it in a baking tin in the fridge or at room temperature, and it should last up to a week, if it makes it that long!
