Rocky Road Chocolate Dessert


Ingredients:
55g butter - cut into small pieces, plus extra for greasing
400g dark chocolate (around 60% cocoa solids) - break into pieces
2 tbsp golden syrup
a pinch of salt
125g mixed nuts (eg. pistachio, hazelnuts)
175g crunchy biscuits (eg. digestives)
100g marshmallows (if they come in big size, cut it into smaller pieces)
85g raisins (optional)
1tbsp icing sugar 

How to Make:
1. Grease a 23cm shallow square tin or brownie pan with butter. Then line it up with baking paper.

2.To melt the chocolate - bring a pot of water to simmer. Sit a bowl on top of the pot with simmering water, but the base of the bowl shall not be touching the water. Place the chocolate pieces, butter and the salt on the bowl and keep stirring until chocolate is melted and silky smooth.

3. Add the syrup to the chocolate mixture, stir well and remove from heat.

4. Reserve approx 1/3 of the chocolate in the bowl. Mix the other 2/3 chocolate with the biscuits, nuts, raisins and marshmallow.

5. Pour the chocolate mixture to the tin, then pour the reserved chocolate on top. Just use a spatula to smooth out the top. Once cool down, chill in fridge.

6. Before serving, take out from tin, cut into small squares and dust it with icing sugar (over a sieve).

enjoy!

P.S. what you mix in the chocolate is all personal choice and it is always ok to use more chocolate than the qty as stated!
