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)
- 1–2 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!):
- Scatter mini marshmallows, cookie pieces, rice cereal, and half the popping candy evenly in the prepared pan.
- Pour melted chocolate gently over the top, covering everything.
- Tap the pan lightly to settle the chocolate into all the gaps — but don’t stir!
- Sprinkle the remaining popping candy and mini eggs on top while the chocolate is still wet.
- 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
