Spooky Rocky Road Bars

Everyone loves rocky road – dense chocolate bars filled with marshmallows, cherries and biscuit pieces. This recipe has a spooky edge with skeleton bones poking out of the chocolate bars.

This recipe has actually been on the blog since 2012. Rocky Road is one of those recipes that is so quick and easy even a child could make it (with supervision of course). It’s a great recipe to have in your repertoire as it is a real crowd pleaser and can be adapted for all sorts of situations.

I first decided to make rocky road at Halloween when I came across some Haribo marshmallow ghosts. I added these to the rocky road mix at the last minute so it look like the ghosts were emerging from a graveyard. Unfortunately they don’t seem to sell these any more but that hasn’t stopped me from making my Spooky Rocky Road this year.

Wilton has come up with a couple of awesome candy melt moulds – from the bones of a skeleton to tomb stones, they have everything you need to make the added extras that will turn this rocky road from cutesy to spooky! You can buy them for just a couple of quid on Amazon so they won’t break the bank.

The best thing about this recipe though is that if you don’t have the skeleton moulds, that’s not a problem. If you don’t like glacé cherries, that’s fine too. As long as you keep the molten mix of chocolate, butter and golden syrup the same you can really add anything you want. If those Haribo marshmallow ghosts come back they’d be perfect.

In the meantime here’s my recipe for Spooky Rocky Road.
