Easy Rocky Road
I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, but every now and then I quite enjoy a chocolatey treat with my afternoon cuppa. There’s a great selection of low-calorie goodies out there that you can buy ready-made, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to whip up your own easy and tasty treat. The best thing about this recipe is that it’s a no-bake dish, soother than melting and mixing a few store-cupboard ingredients, you just have to wait for it to set.
POINTS AND NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Serves 16 – per serving = 8sp or 148 cals, 8.5g fat, 17.0g carbs, 1.6g protein
Ingredients
100g light butter
200g milk chocolate, broken into pieces
30g golden syrup
80g sugar free digestives, roughly crushed
80g mini marshmallows
20g raisins
15g sweet and salt popcorn
Low calorie cooking spray
Method
- Start by greasing and lining an 18cm square brownie tin with low-calorie cooking spray and baking paper.
- Pop the butter, chocolate and golden syrup into a heatproof bowl and sit over a pan of simmering water. Let the heat from the water melt the contents of the bowl, stirring as you go until there are no more lumps.
- Pop the biscuits into a food bag and roughly smash with a rolling pin so you have lots of different-shaped chunks.
- Remove the chocolate mix from the heat and let cool for 2–3 minutes, then add the biscuits, mini marshmallows, raisins and popcorn, stirring through the chocolate mixture until everything is nicely coated.
- Pour into the baking tin and press down so it spreads evenly across the tin. Pop in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours so that the chocolate sets, then remove from the tin and chop into 16 even pieces.
