Easter Rocky road is one of the easiest things to make with really small children. this no bake treat is full of mini eggs and creme eggs and is perfect for using up all your Easter chocolate.

Easter rocky road is the perfect no bake Easter treat for kids. It’s just like our regular rocky road but made extra special because it’s Easter themed and full of mini eggs and cream eggs! At Easter time there’s no shortage of chocolate around, so you can use any chocolate treat you like on top, it doesn’t have to just be mini eggs. And it’s a great way of using up Easter egg chocolate if you have lots going spare.

How can kids help make this Easter rocky road?

Rocky road is one of the easiest things to make with really small children as, with the exception of melting chocolate, there’s no cooking involved. With only a few ingredients plus some Easter chocolate, it’s really quick and so so simple which is perfect for really little kids with short attention spans.

My kids really enjoyed getting to bash the biscuits and Mini eggs and mixing everything together. You don’t need to be too precise with measuring, so you can let your kids be in charge of measuring out the chocolate, golden syrup and butter. If your kids are a bit older and can be trusted around a cooker, you can let them melt and stir all the wet ingredients together.

Once you’ve made the Easter rocky road mixture, your kids can either spoon or help pour it all into the baking tin and then press it down with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

It’s all really just as simple as that. It’s so simple it’s the perfect ‘bake’ for young children and toddlers. The hardest part is waiting for it to set so that you can eat it!

How do you store the Easter rocky road?

I normally keep our rocky road in an air tight container. It keeps in there for a week or so. If you want your rocky road to last a bit longer or to be a bit firmer, pop it in a container in the fridge.

Can I freeze Easter rocky road?

Yes. Wrap each piece in cling film / glad wrap and pop them in a freezer bag and it should freeze it for up to a few months.

What Easter chocolate can you use?

We used our favourite Easter chocolates, Mini Eggs and Mini Creme Eggs, as we had plenty in the house but the beauty of this Easter rocky road is that you can use up any chocolate you like. You could try some Enchanted eggs, some white chocolate mini eggs, some chocolate orange eggs – there’s loads to choose from these days!

What can I use instead of golden syrup?

If you don’t have any golden syrup, you can swap it for an equal quantity of honey. Remember that honey isn’t suitable for children under the age of one.

Can I use regular sized marshmallows instead of mini ones?

If you don’t have mini marshamallows, you can use regular sized ones, but chop them into pieces with scissors before you add them to the bowl.

What biscuits should I use?

You can use any plain biscuit you like. We’re in the UK and have used Digestive biscuits but something like a Nice biscuit or Rich Tea would work just as well. In the USA a Graham cracker would be a great biscuit to use.

How you do you stop the marshmallows from melting?

If you freeze your marshmallows before you use them, and add them right at the end after you’ve mixed the chocolate through with the biscuits, it should stop them from melting too much.

What else can I make with a bag or marshmallows?

If you’ve still got some marshmallows left, you can use them up in:
Easy rocky road
Tiffin
Chocolate marshmallow cookies
Mint Aero rocky road
Chocolate rice krispies

how to make easter rocky road

Line an 8/9 inch square baking tin with baking paper and leave to one side

Melt the chocolate, butter and syrup together

Get your children to help you break the chocolate (400g) into pieces and pop in a sauce pan. Measure the butter (125g) and add to the chocolate. Add the golden syrup.

Heat the mixture gently over a low heat until it has all melted.

Alternatively, you could put it in the microwave and zap it for short intervals until everything has melted.

Stir everything together so it is nice and smooth. Be careful not to overheat it.

Measure the dry ingredients

Measure the biscuits (150g) into a large bowl (you don’t need to be too precise). Give your kids something to bash the biscuits with (like the end of a rolling pin), or you can just break them up with your hands.

If you want to avoid the mess of flying crumbs, you can pop them in a large freezer bag and let you kids bash them in there.

Before taking the mini eggs out of their packets, get your kids to bash them so they are broken into chunks. They might need a bit of help as they can be a bit tough and need quite a firm whack. Add them to the bowl, saving one packet for the end.

Chop the cream eggs into halves/quarters. This is a task for the grownups unless you trust your little ones with sharp knives.

Mix everything together.

Mix everything together

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into your biscuit mixture. Get your little ones to get everything a good mix.

Give everything a good mix, then add the mini marshmallows and mix them in.

Pour into your tin and pat it down with the back of your spoon until it is evenly spread.

Prepare the chocolate topping

Get your kids to break the white chocolate up and pop in a bowl. Melt it in a double boiler (a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water).

Alternatively you can melt in on 80% heat in the microwave. Do it in short bursts, mixing in between to make sure it doesnt burn.

Pour it over the top of your rocky road and sprinkle over the last bag of mini eggs.

Pop your Easter rocky road in the fridge to set for a few hours.

Serve and enjoy.
