Take your rocky road to the next level with this bright and fun Orange Aero recipe!
Rocky Road is such as popular treat and one of the best things about it is how versatile it can be! This rocky road recipe adds a twist to the classic by adding Orange Aero chocolate for a unique flavour and colour that's to die for! So, if you like orange chocolate and love rocky road, what are you waiting for!
The reason I love this Orange Aero rocky road recipe is because of how easy it is to make. It doesn't require an oven and essentially all you have to do is mix the ingredients together and leave it to chill in the fridge - how simple is that! I also love orange chocolate and Aero works perfectly here as it not only provides the sweet citrusy taste, but it also looks amazing because of the colour! I thought to try other types of orange chocolate for this recipe, but they're mostly just flavoured with orange and have no colour, so they would just blend into the rocky road mix. I also love adding the orange-coloured white chocolate on top for that extra picture-perfect look!
Serves: 20 1x1 Inch Pieces
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Cooking Time: 0 Minutes
Allergies: Contains Dairy & Gelatine (Marshmallows)
Please note these are only rough nutritional facts and will depend on the specific ingredients used.
Ingredients:
200g Milk Chocolate
60g Butter/Stork
60g Golden Syrup
75g Mini Marshmallows
75g Digestives
150g Orange Aero Bar
100g White Chocolate
50g Orange Aero Bar (Topping)
Orange Food Colouring (Topping)
Line a tin or food-safe box (7x9 inch) with baking paper.
In a pan, bain-marie or the microwave, slowly melt together the chocolate, butter and golden syrup, making to sure to stir well so all the ingredients combine.
Once they are completely melted, set this mixture aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
In the meantime, chop or break up your digestive biscuits and Orange Aero (if preferred).
Add the mini marshmallows, broken digestive biscuits and Orange Aero into the chocolate mixture and combine so the ingredients are all covered.
Pour the final mixture into the tin or box and evenly spread out with a spatula or the back of a wooden spoon.
Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set.
After a few hours, if the rocky road mix is solid on top, you can make the orange topping.
For the topping, melt the white chocolate in a pan, bain-marie or microwave.
Add the orange food colouring to achieve your desired colour.
Either drizzle or spread the orange chocolate in a layer over the top of the rocky road.
Add crushed Orange Aero chocolate to decorate.
Place the completed mixture back in the fridge for another 1-2 hours (or overnight) to fully set.
Cut into your desired size of pieces.
Enjoy!
Tips:
You can use whatever size tin or food-safe box you prefer, it will just alter the overall size and thickness of your rocky road pieces. I usually aim for around an inch thick.
You can easily melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in the microwave, however, I would suggest using a pan as this means you can slowly melt all the ingredients and mix at the same time so you don't risk burning the chocolate.
When chopping up the digestives and Orange Aero Bar, it is up to you the exact size of the pieces. You can even leave the Aero in whole pieces if you prefer!
It is really important that you don't skip step 3! If you don't leave the mixture to cool enough, when you add the mini marshmallows, digestives and Orange Aero, they will just melt into the mixture and the biscuits will get soggy! By leaving it to cool, you get the distinctive pieces and textures throughout.
For the orange topping, you can really make this your own! I like to spread a layer of the orange chocolate over the top and then add crushed Orange Aero Chocolate, but you can make a cool design or drizzle the chocolate in any way you like! You can also skip this all together, but I think it adds to the orange flavour and the bright colour really makes it look great!
You can cut your rocky road in any way you like! I personally like to cut them into around an inch squared pieces for myself (20 pieces), or 1x2 inch for sharing with others (10 pieces). You can easily make them bigger or smaller - it's up to you!
The excellent thing about this recipe is that you can make more or less depending on your need! Simply half or double (or more!) the ratio of ingredients to make the amount you want.
If you want to give this recipe a go, but you don't like orange, why not try a different flavour? Why not try my Mint Aero Rocky Road recipe or use any other chocolate of your choice!
