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.
This is an adaptation of my classic Rocky Road recipe, because I like to throw everything that is chocolatey and sweet and divine at Easter and turn it into something… EXTRA.
Therefore, my Easter Rocky Road is simply an excuse to go unashamedly along with the theme and go as chocolatey as is possible.
Here’s my excuse – I like to make homemade treats, I like to bake (or no-bake, as is accurate with this recipe, just like my Easter Nests), and if there’s a cultural celebration that calls for indulgence, I am going to lean into it big time.
My approach to this recipe? Get every mini egg you can find and throw it in. Melt everything together, mix and set. That’s it.

Top tips
✅ This is also brilliant to was of using up any leftover Easter Eggs if that happens to be a thing in your home. Melt it all down for Rocky Road! (Or you could make Easter Egg Cheesecakes instead.)
✅ Let the melted chocolate cool down: When I first made this, I found that my biscuits weren’t quite crunchy and the marshmallows had slightly melted into the chocolate. I realised I hadn’t allowed the melted chocolate to cool down enough before I mixed in the rest of my ingredients. So, just leave it for a few minutes (it will stay liquidy) and when it’s cooled a little, then stir everything in. It will mean your Rocky Road filling remains sold, crunchy and gooey.
Easter Rocky Road Ingredients
- 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 Easter Rocky Road
1. Melt the milk chocolate, butter and golden syrup as per the full 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.
More 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/2.2lb 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.

I made this last week and everyone at work went feral for it, it was such a big hit. I’m brand new to cooking/baking/whatever the right word is and really enjoyed making this (and eating it even more so), so thank you for such a yummy, great recipe and for the easy instructions to follow. I can’t wait to make more of your recipes.
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!!
