Method

Chop the chocolates into small chunks, then put them into a pan to melt with the butter and syrup over gentle heat.

Put the biscuits into a sealed bag and bash them with a rolling pin to get bigger and smaller crumbs. Put the Brazil nuts into another sealed bag and also bash them.

Take the pan off the heat, add the crushed biscuits and nuts, whole glacé cherries, and marshmallows, and mix to coat everything with syrupy chocolate.

Tip into a foil tray and refrigerate for nearly two hours, then take the rocky road chocolate out of the foil tray to cut.

Push the icing sugar through a small sieve to dust the top of the Rocky Road. Then, if you like, add a sprinkling of edible glitter. With the long side in front of you, cut into it six slices down and four across so that you have 24 squares.
