I love seeing little chocolates with the filling exposed at the top so I thought it would be fun for the kids to make bite sized rocky roads using ice cubes trays. We bought a pack of 2 from Poundland and they had a push up bottom which made getting the chocolates out super easy.

You could use any dried fruit, nuts or treats at the bottom before filling but we went with raisins, glacé cherries and mini marshmallows which was really yummy.

Ingredients:

300g Milk Chocolate
70g Digestive Biscuits
100g Golden Syrup
100g Butter
50g Raisins
50g Glacé Cherries, quartered
50g Mini Marshmallows

Method:

• Make sure your ice cube trays are clean and pop a few raisins and chopped glace cherries in the bottom with some small broken pieces of biscuits and a couple of mini marshmallows.  Make sure the pieces are small and only at the bottom so that the chocolate can fill in the gaps and hold it all together.

• Break up the chocolate and add the butter and golden syrup.  Either melt over a pan of boiling water (don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl) or microwave like we did in 30 seconds bursts.

• Bash some biscuits up into very small pieces and stir in the chocolate before quickly spooning into the moulds.

• Push the mix down with the back of a teaspoon so the chocolate gets in all the gaps and then place in the fridge.  We did have some mix leftover which I put in cupcake cases.

When our treats were chilled enough we tasted quite a few and then bagged up the remaining ones to give as gifts.  Oh and they had some added edible gold sparkle to give them the extra wow factor!  They looked a bit rough around the edges but tasted amazing which is most important.

Next time we're going to try adding honeycomb.  Do you have any suggestions for alternative treats for the top?  If so, please do comment below.
