Christmas Rocky Road Crunch Bars Recipe
Preparation Time:10 minutes | Cooking Time : 15 mins | Makes:16 small bars
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: World
Dark Chocolate – 200 gms(roughly about 2 cups chopped)
Butter – 75 gms(4 tbsp)
Honey – 1/8 cup(30 ml)
Marshmallows – 50 gms(1 cup loosely packed)
Tea Biscuits* – 100 gms(about 1 cup crushed)(
*Note : I used 10 marie biscuits and 2 dark fantasy chocolate cookies
Method:
- Chop cooking chocolate,measure all the ingredients and get ready.First take biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush it using a rolling pin.Do not powder it,just crush we need bits and pieces.
- Take butter and cooking chocolate in a pan,add honey to it.
- Cook in low heat,it starts to melt down,keep mixing.
- See how smooth it is,this is the right consistency now add marshmallows.
- If you have mini marshmallows add it as such else chop it roughly then add.Give a quick mix(do not over mix) then add crushed cookies.
- Mix well.I crushed few marshmallows and added at the final stage(Check my notes).Now transfer this mixture to a foil wrapped tin.
- Pat it tightly with the spatula and freeze for 2-3 hrs.By now you can neatly take out the bar.Now cut.
- Cut into small squares and enjoy!
Keep refirgerated until serving time.
Keep refrigerated until serving time and serve chilled!!
My Notes:
- There can be many variations, you can add chopped nuts,tutti frutti etc.
- I used dark chocolate which was semi sweet, you can use normal cooking chocolate too.
- Do not overcook mainly after marshmallows is added, if you cook more then marshmallow will melt down making it sticky, we need chuny pieces so just mix and crushed cookies immediately.
- The only regret is I added the marshmallows as such and it was slightly bigger,later realised so took out few before mixing,chopped and added it in step 6.So my bars had chunky pieces nevertheless they were so delicious.
- So if your marshmallows are big,chop them into small pieces then add it.

Hi Sharmila mam , I’m a fan of your blog and have been trying your recipes right from my late teens and everything had come out pucca, a big thanks to you !!
I’ve also made these rocky road bars twice and savored it.
But only now , I came to know that the gelatin in marshmallow is actually from pig’s organ and is non veg.
I’m a pure vegetarian , but’ve become an addict of rocky road . (But doesn’t want to knowingly eat non veg )
I surfed the net and it seems there are vegan marshmallows available , but I haven’t found any in Coimbatore !!
So , can you please tell me any substitute for marshmallow in this recipe ?

You can just skip it I guess…not really sure of vegan marshmallows but please let me know if you find it 🙂
