Valentines Special Spicy Rocky Road

Rocky road is always a family favourite. Here is a way to make it more adult for a special Valentine's treat

Rocky road with .. ginger... yum

250g dark chocolate 

150g milk chocolate

175g soft unsalted butter

4 x 15ml tablespoons golden syrup (or glucose syrup if you cannot find Golden syrup here in Greece)

200g ginger biscuits

150g roughly chopped hazelnuts

150g crystallised ginger chopped

125g mini marshmallows ( or chop ordinary ones)

Chop both sorts of chocolate small, or use chocolate buttons made for melting, and then put into a heavy-based pan to melt with the butter and syrup over a gentle heat.

Turn carefully to coat well with the chocolate.

 Tip into a foil tray or line a rectangular cake tin with greaseproof paper, smooth out

Refrigerate until firm enough to cut,  block of rocky road out of the  tray ready to cut.

 Cut into squares or rectangles of the size you want

These also freeze  well
