Rocky Road Crunch Bars Nigella Lawson Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup in a heavy based saucepan. Scoop out about 1/2 cup of this melted mixture and put aside.
• Put the biscuits/cookies into a freezer bag and then bash them with a rolling pin. You are looking for both crumbs and pieces of cookies.
• Fold the cookie pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture, and then add the marshmallows.
• Pour into a 9-inch square foil tray; flatten as best you can with a spatula. Pour over the reserved 1/2 half cup of melted chocolate mixture and smooth the top.
• Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
• Cut into 24 fingers and dust with powdered sugar by pushing it gently through a tea strainer or small sieve.

Steps:

• Place the dark and milk chocolate pieces into a heavy-based pan. Add the butter and golden syrup and cook over a low heat to melt and combine.
• Place the amaretti biscuits into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin to make crumbs of various sizes.
• Place the Brazil nuts into another freezer bag and bash in the same way.
• Take the pan of melted chocolate mixture off the heat and add the crushed biscuits and nuts.
• Add the glacé cherries and mini marshmallows. Fold the mixture carefully to coat all of the solid ingredients with the syrupy chocolate mixture.
• Pour the mixture into a 25cm/10in x 30cm/12in greased and lined baking tray (Swiss roll pan) and smooth the surface as much as possible (although it will look bumpy).
• Refrigerate for two hours, or until firm enough to cut. Dust with icing sugar, then sprinkle with edible glitter if you wish.
• Remove the block of rocky road from the tray and cut into 24 rectangles.

Steps:
