Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

100g salted butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp golden syrup

Mix-Ins

150g digestive biscuits, broken into pieces
100g mini marshmallows
50g pecans, roughly chopped
50g sultanas

Decoration (Optional)

Edible gold lustre, for dusting

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate Mixture: Place the chopped butter, dark chocolate, and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a pan of just simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until all the ingredients melt together into a smooth, glossy mixture.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, break the digestive biscuits into bite-sized pieces. Add the mini marshmallows, roughly chopped pecans, and sultanas. Mix these together to evenly distribute.
Mix Coating: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit and fruit mix. Gently stir until every piece is well-coated with the chocolate, ensuring even coverage without breaking up the biscuits.
Form Clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the combined mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Try to make small individual clusters for easy serving.
Add Decoration and Chill: Optional: Lightly dust the clusters with edible gold lustre for an elegant finishing touch. Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour to allow the clusters to set firmly before packaging or serving.

Notes

Keep the clusters refrigerated and consume within three days for optimal freshness.
You can substitute pecans with other nuts such as walnuts or almonds depending on your preference.
If you don’t have golden syrup, honey or corn syrup can be used as alternatives.
Ensure the bowl used for melting chocolate is heatproof and that no water gets into the chocolate mixture as this can cause it to seize.
These Rocky Road Clusters are perfect for gift-giving when packaged in decorative boxes or bags.
