Easter Rocky Road

If you're looking for easy Easter treats to make, this simple Easter rocky road recipe has a twist up its sleeve - the base is made using marshmallowy Rice Krispies, which gives it some lightness and a little contrast. Be sure to work quickly adding the cereal whilst the marshmallow mixture is still hot, so it coats it evenly.

Simple and easy enough for kids to help with, the hardest thing about this recipe will be waiting for it to set. If you want to speed up the chilling, you can pop the tin in the freezer for 10-20min each time.

If you find the creme eggs hard to slice, putting them in the fridge for an hour or so makes them firm enough to cut neatly.

Our easy rocky road is also the perfect way to use up leftover Easter eggs and chocolates. You can melt larger eggs down for the rocky road layer and use smaller ones to scatter on top.

If you want to make a non-Easter version, smarties, nuts, dried fruit or your favourite chocolates work well instead of mini eggs and creme eggs.

Mixing milk and dark chocolate in the recipe gives the perfect rocky road - not too sweet and not too bitter. If you prefer a slightly more sophisticated version or like it less sweet, you can use all dark chocolate instead of a mix. We don’t recommend using all milk chocolate, unless you have a very sweet tooth!

The best way to store rocky road is in an airtight container at cool room temperature. If making this on a hot day, or in the summer months, you might want to store it in the refrigerator as it can get a little sticky.

This rocky road makes a brilliant alternative to an egg as an Easter gift. Simply cut it into squares and pop them into a gift box lined with baking paper.
