Since it’s the start of spring, I thought why not create a double whammy of scrumptious sweet treats to celebrate new beginnings as to me, that is what Easter is all about, the lease of new life. Although the first recipe is rather decadent, it is a treat after all!

Chewy, delectable, moreish, crunchy- Rocky Roads a renowned firm favourite nation-wide, and so I thought, why not create a recipe that combines all the traditional ingredients, with a few extras chucked in for good measure and extra delliciousness! They’re certainly a HUGE hit with my friends and family.

What Will I Need?

1 x Large Glass Bowl

1 x Medium Cooking Pan

Wooden Spoon

1 x Large Mixing Bowl

Silicone Spatula (if you have one)

Pallet Knife OR Dessert Spoon

Tin Foil OR Baking Parchment Paper (NOT Greaseproof).

Brownie Pan

Ingredients

250g Dairy-free Dark Chocolate broken into pieces

½ tsp. Pink Himalaya Rock Salt OR Sea Salt

300g Puffed Rice Cereal

100g Plain dairy-free and egg-free Biscuits roughly crushed (I use Rich Tea)

50g Gelatine-free Marshmallows

25g Sultanas

25g Dates Roughly Chopped

50g Dessicated Coconut

Method

1. Fill a medium size pan with fresh cold water, then place a large glass bowl over the top. Bring the water to a boil before turning back down to a very low heat then place the broken chocolate into the bowl and let melt completely, stirring in the salt half way through melting. Stir occasionally to ensure all of the chocolate is melted until you’re left with a silky consistency.
2. Stir in the crushed biscuits, followed by the Puff Rice cereal and then the remainder of the dry ingredients; mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon, ensuring that everything is well coated in the chocolate.
3. With a spatula, scrape the chocolaty crunchy mixture into the lined brownie pan, then level out with a pallet knife OR the back of a dessert spoon. 
4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set. Cut into bars and store in the fridge in an air-tight container. Enjoy!
