Description

A colorful slab of No‑Mix Popping Candy Easter Rocky Road studded with pastel marshmallows and crispy popping candy.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g (14 oz) good-quality milk or dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
  • ¼ cup crispy rice cereal or cornflakes
  • ½ cup mini candy-coated eggs (like Cadbury Mini Eggs)
  • 12 tbsp popping candy (Pop Rocks or similar), divided
  • ¼ cup white chocolate, melted (for drizzle — optional)
  • Extra mini eggs, sprinkles, or jelly beans for topping

Instructions

1- Prepare the Pan:

  • Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

  • Gently melt the milk/dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or in short microwave bursts.
  • Stir until smooth. Let cool for 2–3 minutes before assembling to avoid melting the marshmallows or popping candy.

3. Layer (No Mixing!):

  1. Scatter mini marshmallows, cookie pieces, rice cereal, and half the popping candy evenly in the prepared pan.
  2. Pour melted chocolate gently over the top, covering everything.
  3. Tap the pan lightly to settle the chocolate into all the gaps — but don’t stir!
  4. Sprinkle the remaining popping candy and mini eggs on top while the chocolate is still wet.
  5. Drizzle with white chocolate and add any extra decorations you like.

4. Chill & Slice:

 

  • Refrigerate for 1–2 hours or until fully set.
  • Slice into squares or bars with a sharp knife (clean between cuts for neat edges).

Notes

  • Make it nutty with chopped pistachios or almonds
  • Use freeze-dried raspberries or mini marshmallow bunnies for more Easter flair
  • Add popping candy only after the chocolate cools slightly to preserve the fizziness
