By Rachel Zammit Cutajar

Getting the kids to do anything productive is pretty hard right now. All they seem to want to do is watch TV and while it’s easier to just let them do it, that brings on severe guilt trips. This is an easy recipe you can make with the kids. They’ll be excited about getting away from their screens and getting into the kitchen.

Chocolate egg rocky road

Ingredients

• 150g salted butter
• 250g dark chocolate
• 150g milk chocolate
• 4 tbsp Golden Syrup
• 150g mini eggs (pick your favourite brand or a mixture)
• 150g mini marshmallows
• 150g Digestive biscuits, crushed into bits but not crumbs
• 150g white chocolate
• 8 Crème Eggs, cut in half

Method

1. Melt the butter in a stainless steel bowl placed on top of a small saucepan of barely simmering water. Be careful not to let the bowl touch the simmering water.
2. When the butter starts to melt, add the dark and milk chocolate and the Golden Syrup.
3. Once everything is melted, stir well to make sure everything is incorporated and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for approx. 10 mins.
5. Add the crushed Digestives, marshmallows and mini eggs and mix well.
6. Line a baking dish baking paper and pour in the chocolate mixture pushing the mixture into the corners.
7. Melt the white chocolate in a clean, stainless steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. Keep the temperature low, as white chocolate tends to seize more than the darker kinds.
8. Pour the white chocolate over the top and place the halved Crème Eggs into the mixture.
9. Allow to set for a couple of hours in the fridge.
10. Remove from the fridge and cut into squares using a sharp knife. Clean the knife every time you use it to make sure the sides remain clean.
