What’s the best kind of baking at Easter? That’s obvious… the most chocolatey, the most egg filled, the most indulgent recipe you can muster, of course!
Welcome to my Easter Rocky Road – a mouthwatering treat filled with crunch, gooeyness and layers of chocolate. This is super simple baking and a perfect way to get the kids creative in the kitchen.
At Easter we have ALL the excuses to have chocolate upon chocolate. And that’s exactly what this Easter Rocky Road is!
Get every mini chocolate egg you can find and throw it in. Melt everything together with butter and golden syrup, press even more eggs in, along with some biscuit and marshmallow for loads of texture, then set overnight in the fridge.
Simple… and simply divine!

How we came up with this recipe
It’s no secret that I am a fan of ultra easy bakes, and I simply NEEDED an Easter-themed rocky road recipe in my toolbox.
I wanted to create something that could be adapted from a classic rocky road, but with some seasonal treats thrown in.
We often bake (and eat) more chocolatey treats around our cultural celebrations, either because we’re entertaining, gifting or indulging. This recipe ticks the box for all of those eventualities, and is perfect if we have loads of leftover Easter eggs we want to use up too.
And of course, when I say ‘bake’, what I really mean is melt, mix and set in the fridge!

Easter Rocky Road Ingredients Notes
- Unsalted butter – Salted is fine if it’s all you have, but obviously it can give a slight savoury tang
- Milk chocolate – Callebaut is the brand I always use and recommend, you can find it HERE
- Filling – Flavour and gooey/crunchy texture comes from golden syrup, mini marshmallows and Oreos
- Small chocolate eggs – Such as Creme Eggs, Malteser eggs, Galaxy eggs etc (foil removed!)
How to make Rocky Road
1. Melt the milk chocolate, butter and golden syrup as per the recipe below. Once smooth, stir in the broken up Oreos, marshmallows and chocolate eggs.
2. Mix together well and smooth into a lined baking tin. Pour over more melted chocolate and embed in more chopped up eggs to decorate. Set in the fridge overnight until set.
STORING
Once the Easter Egg Rocky Road has set, it’s fine to keep at room temperature, unless it’s a warm day and then it would be much better in the fridge.
Top tips
Best chocolate to use
I use my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe. This chocolate is just amazing. It melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe.
When you buy it in bulk (1kg bags at a time) from Amazon it works out to about the same price as supermarket chocolate. A good investment I think as it really does make SUCH a difference. You can then use it again for other bakes.
Type of baking tin
I usually use a tin like this for my rocky roads or tray bakes. It measures 20cm x 20cm and gets the best thickness. You can use another size or shape but just be aware your squares might be thinner or thicker.
Line the tin!
Make sure you do this so you can get the rocky road out quicker and without breaking it. I use baking parchment or baking paper for almost everything I bake. No sticking, ever.
I buy it in bulk from Amazon so I don’t run out, and it works out cheaper. Be careful not to confuse it with greaseproof paper, which isn’t suitable for no-bake cakes.
How to melt the chocolate
I find the easiest and quickest way is to use the microwave, but do this carefully as it can burn (no longer than 30 second bursts, stirring in between).
You can also bubble up some water in a pan and place a heatproof bowl over it with the chocolate inside (make sure the water isn’t touching the bottom). This takes a little longer but the chocolate melts nice and evenly.
FAQs
I mean, there’s very little chance of you having this problem! But just in case, it should be fine for up to a week. After that the marshmallows tend to get very sticky and wet where they’ve been cut (so I’ve heard).
Once you’ve taken it out of the fridge, allow it to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes before trying to chop it up.
Once I have cut up my slab of rocky road, I pack the pieces, fresh from the fridge, into little bags like these cellophane bags. It adds a special something to make them feel like a real gift.

I made this last week and everyone at work went feral for it, it was such a big hit.

Amazing! Had to swap Oreo’s for digestives and there’s a shortage of mini eggs, but this came out delicious!!!
Thank you! A great way to use up all the Easter chocolate with the kids. Will make a nice thing to take along to play dates!!
