Choco Pavement!


This is my version of Rocky Road, but you can throw anything you like into the chocolate syrup mix, nuts, marshmallows, biscuits, brownie, chocolate bars, dried fruit, raisins, jellied sweets, cereals and whatever else you have in your sweet cupboard!
  The one ingredient you should definitely add is salted peanuts as these give a real hit of salt, that goes so well with the chocolate. So please use this recipe as a guide and chuck in whatever ingredients you fancy into the chocolate syrup mix. And obviously the better the chocolate you use, the better the taste.

Ingredients
Chocolate Syrup mix

  • 300g of good quality Chocolate 70% cocoa (use dark or milk, or a mixture of both). 
  • 125g unsalted butter.
  • 2 tablespoons of golden syrup.

Added extras

  • 200g salted peanuts.
  • 8 marshmallows chopped in half, or a handfull of mini mallows.
  • 50g of roughly pistachio nuts
  • 30g of rice krispies (puffed rice)
  • 25g of roughly chopped brazil nut


1. Make the chocolate syrup by melting all the ingredients together in a bowl placed over a saucepan with couple of inches simmering water, make sure the bowl does not touch the water, else you will ruin the chocolate. Stir constantly until silky smooth.
2. Add your chosen ingredients to the melted chocolate syrup, and mix well. Pour into a tin foiled lined tray or tub, let it cool and refrigerate for around 3-4 hours until its set solid.
3. Remove from the tinfoil, and cut into bite-size pieces and place in the fridge in a sealed container until ready to eat! This will keep for around a week, but you'll not have any left by then!!!!
