Instructions

Prepare the Tin: Line an 8-inch square baking tin with baking paper and lightly grease the tin with a little butter to help the paper stick securely.
Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a pan over low heat, melt the butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate together, stirring frequently until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Mix the Fillings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broken biscuits, mini marshmallows, Maltesers, and Malteser Teasers (if using).
Coat the Fillings: Pour about two-thirds of the cooled chocolate mixture into the bowl with the fillings. Stir thoroughly to ensure all pieces are well coated in chocolate.
Assemble in Tin: Transfer the coated mixture into the prepared lined tin and smooth it down evenly. Add the remaining chocolate mixture on top to fill any gaps, tapping the tin gently on the work surface to eliminate air bubbles and level the surface.
Decorate: Scatter the remaining Maltesers on top, cutting some in half for variety and dotting them across the surface for an attractive finish.
Set the Rocky Road: Place the tin in the refrigerator and allow the rocky road to set for at least 3-4 hours, preferably overnight for best firmness.
Serve and Store: Once set, remove from the tin and cut into pieces. Store in the fridge for a firmer texture or a cool place for a softer bite. Keep in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks at room temperature or up to 3 weeks in the fridge.

Notes

You can use baking spread like Stork, but butter is recommended for better flavor based on personal preference.
Malted milk biscuits are traditional, but digestive biscuits, shortbread, or Hobnobs are great alternatives.
Adjust chocolate proportions as preferred to use all dark, all milk, or a combination totaling 500 g.
Choose gelatine-free marshmallows like Freedom Mallows for vegetarian-friendly rocky road.
Golden syrup is essential for texture and flavor; if unavailable, light corn syrup or glucose syrup may be substituted but results may vary.
Glacé cherries (75 g) can be added for an extra fruity touch.
Use digital kitchen scales for the most accurate ingredient measurements.
Use proper measuring spoons for teaspoons and tablespoons to ensure precise amounts.
