EASY ROCKY ROAD

Steps:

• Grease and line an 18cm square brownie tin with baking paper.
• Place 200g digestive biscuits in a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin or just the side of your fist until they're broken into a mixture of everything between dust and 50p-sized lumps. Set aside.
• In a large saucepan melt 135g butter or margarine, 200g dark chocolate and 2-3 tbsp golden syrup over a gentle heat stirring constantly until there are no or almost no more lumps of chocolate visible, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool.
• Take the biscuits, 100g mini marshmallows and up to 100g of additional ingredients (dried fruit, nuts, popcorn, honeycomb), if you like, and stir into the chocolate mixture until everything is completely covered.
• Tip the mixture into the lined baking tin, and spread it out to the corners. Chill for at least 2 hrs then dust with icing sugar and cut into 12 fingers.

SUPER QUICK AND EASY ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Prepare both boxes of cake mix per package directions so they are thick and cakey. Add 1-2 extra eggs to the batter. Pour batter into a greased 13x9" dish and bake per directions. It may take a little longer to cook so keep an eye on it and check for doneness with a toothpick. Cool for approximately 10 minutes.
• 2. Stir the chocolate frosting and add mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
• 3. Spread one container of marshmallow cream over brownies while they are still warm.
• 4. Slightly melt frosting in the microwave for approximately 20-30 seconds. Stir and drizzle over marshmallow cream. Run a butter knife gently through marshmallow and frosting mixture down one side and up the other to swirl the two together.
• 5. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and toffee bars. If you place in the refrigerator for a few hours it will allow the brownies to be really dense and yummy and will make it a lot easier to cut apart. Happy baking!
