Top tips for making rocky road

If you're vegan, you can make rocky road with vegan chocolate and vegan marshmallows.

What can you use instead of golden syrup to make rocky road?

If you don't have golden syrup you can use other syrups or honey. You might want to choose mild honey so it doesn't impact the flavour of the bars.

What is the best chocolate to use to make rocky road?

In this recipe we've chosen to use plain chocolate - you can use dark, milk or white - the choice is yours. Higher quality chocolate will make extra rich, luxuriously creamy rocky road whereas cheaper brands will lead to extra sweet, sugary rocky road. The best rule to follow is to pick chocolate that you and your family like the taste of in general. Avoid baking chocolate.
