Recipe: Mini Egg Rocky Road

I know I'm not alone when I say that Mini Eggs are hard to resist and that there's a likely chance that a good amount of them have been consumed before Easter is even a thought in anyone's mind. I for one am guilty of buying a bag for myself if I've had a particuarly hard day and it was one of these days that got me thinking what recipes would work well with the addition of Mini Eggs. The answer was a lot but I narrowed it down to three, simple yet delicious recipes, the first of which I'm sharing with you today.

Ingredients
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 135g Butter
- 200g Digestives, crushed
- 100g Mini Marshmallows
- 100g Mini Eggs
- 2-3 Tbsp Golden Syrup

Method 
1- Grease and line a 18cm square baking tin with greasproof paper.
2- In a saucepan place the dark chocolate, butter and golden syrup.and melt together. Stir continuously so that nothing gets stuck to the bottom of the pan.
3- If you haven't already crushed your digestives, then crush them now. Don't worry if you have a variety of sized chunks, it'll just add to the end look of your rocky road.
4- Add the biscuits, marshmallows and mini eggs to your chocolate mixture. Combine everything with a wooden spoon/spatula until everything is thoroughly coated in chocolate.
5- Pour into your prepared tin, using you spoon/spatula to spread it out evenly.
6- Chill for a minimum of two hours, checking intermittedly, in the fridge. Once it's completely set, cut into squares or slices and enjoy. 

Recipe: Rolo Rocky Road

Whilst I was brainstorming recipes to feature here this year, my mind turned towards one of my all time favourite 'bakes'. It's not actually baked as it doesn't need to be cooked in the oven but it's just habit saying I baked when I talk about my creations. Of course I'm talking about Rocky Road, one of the simpler sweet goods that you can make. And you can create it however you want, things such as glace cherries, honeycomb, raisins or in my case rolos can be added to this simple yet delicious recipe and always goes down well with loved ones.

Ingredients 
- 200g Dark Chocolate
- 135g Butter
- 200g Digestives, crushed
- 100g Mini Marshmallows
- 100g Rolos
- 2-3 Tbsp Golden Syrup

Method 
1- Grease and line a 18cm square baking tin with greasproof paper.
2- In a saucepan place the butter, dark chocolate and golden syrup and melt together. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula so everything is combined and there are no lumps in your mixture.
3- If you haven't crushed your digestives, crush them in a food bag with wooden spoon.
4- Add the biscuits, marshmallows and rolos to the golden syrup/chocolate mix. Combine everything with your wooden spoon or spatula until everything is covered in chocolate.
5- Pour into your prepared tin, spreading it gently so it sits evenly in the tin.
6- Chill for a minimum of two hours; checking intermittedly, in the fridge. Once it's completely set, cut into squares or slices and enjoy.
