Tips For Making These Vegan Rocky Road Bars
Don't Let Your Chocolate Go Hard
Make sure that you use your melted chocolate as soon as you've mixed in the vegan butter and golden syrup. If you don't use your vegan baking chocolate while it's melted, there is a chance that it will harden sooner rather than later.
Crush Your Digestive Biscuits In A Freezer Bag
Instead of crushing your cookies/biscuits with the end of the rolling pin, a quicker and more efficient way is to place your Digestives inside a freezer bag, seal it and crush them with a rolling pin.
Stick To The Recommended Refrigeration Time
I highly recommend that you leave your vegan rocky road in the fridge for the recommended 1 hour 30 minutes. Leaving it in there any longer may cause it to be too firm and less appetising.
Why I Love This No-Bake Rocky Road
These vegan treats being delicious isn't the only reason that I love them. I also love how this is a child-friendly vegan recipe. If you have a young child that has a love for baking, this chocolate rocky road could be a great plant-based dessert for them to try. What kid wouldn't love something that is filled to the brim with chocolatey goodness?!

Helpful Tools For Making Vegan Rocky Road Bars:

- Rolling Pin
- Double Boiler (Desirable)
- Medium Saucepan

Recipe Variations
- Change the flavours: If vegan white chocolate chips aren't your thing, you can substitute them for vegan milk chocolate or vegan dark chocolate. If you love vegan white chocolate you could melt it as a substitute for the main vegan baking chocolate. The thought of a white chocolate version makes me drool.
FAQ:
Rocky roads are typically made from chocolate, marshmallows and biscuits but they are also known to include nuts and dried fruits.
It is absolutely fine to freeze your rocky road and it will last at least a couple months in there. Make sure you store it in an airtight container.
