Millionaire’s Rocky Road
Rocky Road is a classic snack here in the UK and as it is spring time as well, it works perfectly as it is a bit warmer and sometimes I don’t want to turn the oven on when I’m already boiling!
Plus as this is a traybake recipe, it is super easy to make and perfect for beginner bakers, home bakers and literally everyone! Let’s talk about the delicious layers that make up this dessert!
- Base Mixture- The bottom layer is of course a rocky road mixture! My stepdad loves chocolate orange so I made this orange flavoured. This rocky road is packed with mini marshmallows, digestives, cornflakes and Terry’s chocolate orange! For this recipe I used the milk orange chocolate but Terry’s also does a white chocolate orange so you could use that as well! Both would taste absolutely delicious, I love a bit of white chocolate!
- Caramel Layer- We are taking the classic rocky road recipe up a notch! We do this by adding caramel which gives this recipe the millionaires title! I made this caramel using the microwave method as it is so much easier and I wanted to keep this recipe as easy as possible! Microwaved caramel is so easy, you add all the ingredients into a large microwaveable bowl and microwave the caramel in 1 minute intervals, stirring well each time, until the caramel has darkened and thickened. This can take 10-15 minutes, be careful because it does get quite hot! As this is a chocolate orange rocky road, I thought id spice this caramel up with some orange flavouring. If we are going orange, we are going ALL orange!
- Chocolate Layer- On top of the caramel layer, I added melted Terry’s chocolate orange on top and sprinkled some chocolate orange mini eggs on top as I made this in the Easter season! You could make this any time of the year by using the classic Terry’s chocolate orange on top! If you don’t have access to chocolate orange chocolate, you could use milk chocolate and add some orange flavouring!
Ingredients
Rocky Roads are literally one of the most delicious treats. They are great to have with a bowl of ice cream or hot drink, I like to have them on their own after my dinner as a little sweet treat! We always have room for a little sweet treat after dinner right?
- Chocolate- I used Terry’s chocolate orange in this recipe. Melt your milk chocolate in short bursts in the microwave and stir thoroughly in between so it doesn’t burn! If you can’t find Terry’s chocolate orange you can use milk chocolate and flavour it with orange flavouring!
- Butter- Using butter makes the rocky road a bit easier to cut into. I recommend using unsalted butter but you can use salted butter if you prefer! I also used unsalted butter for the caramel.
- Golden syrup- This helps stop the chocolate and butter splitting and also adds more sweetness! If you can’t find golden syrup, you can always substitute this ingredient for honey!
- Biscuits- I used digestive biscuits and also added some cornflakes for some extra crunch!
- Marshmallows- A must in rocky roads! Without marshmallows, you are making a tiffin!
- Caster Sugar- This is for the caramel to add some sweetness!
- Condensed Milk- This is a must for caramel! I use the Carnations caramel for this recipe!
- Flavouring- For the orange caramel, I add a few drops of this orange flavouring from Foodie Flavours!

- Freezing: Freeze for up to 3 months. Just thaw at room temperature before serving.

Caramel
