Rocky Road Bars




Now it could be said that the simplest things in life are some times the best and with this recipe you will find it easy to make and popular with young and old alike. So if you want to make a sweet treat for a party or just for the kids lunch box or your own have a go at this.

You will need the following.
125g/4½oz soft unsalted butter
300g/10½oz dark chocolate
3 tbsp golden syrup
200g/7¼oz digestive or shortbread biscuits
100g/3½oz mini marshmallows
2 tsp icing sugar

Now start by taking you biscuits and breaking them up roughly in a bowl.  You want frailly ruff crunched lumps not a smooth crumb just a bit of a bash should do you. Then add to them the mash mellows and toss them together.

Now you can use any biscuit you like really but I prefer to use either the digestive or shortbread as I like the texture of the biscuits.  However, id did once try this with chocolate bourbon biscuits and it was very nice.

Now take a saucepan, fill with some water, and rest a bowl over it to make a bain-marie.  In to the bowl add your chocolate, golden syrup, butter, and let them met in the heat from the water.  As they melt, stir them so they blend together. The smaller you chocolate and butter the better this blends together as every thing melts at the same time.

Once every thing has melted together, then take half of the mix, add it to the biscuits amd marshmallows, and bind it all together. Then take this mix and spread it in a steep sided baking tray.  Smooth it down with a spatula and then take the remaining chocolate mix and pour that over the top of the biscuits and marshmallows.

Make sure that every thing is well cover with the chocolate so it is nice and level and then pop it in the fridge.  Chill for about 2 to 3 hours so it set and then turn it out and cut in to bars.  Dust the bars with a little icing sugar and then keep in a cool place in an airtight box.

Unlike most of the sweet recipe that I have posted you do not need to boils sugar or do any thing to technical just met mix and chill and you normally get the perfect result every time.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
