Snickers Rocky Road
Whenever I am making a recipe like this, I always try my hardest to incorporate as many of the flavours of the chocolate bar into the Rocky Road.
I went with a milk chocolate base, for this Snickers Rocky Road and melted it in the microwave for 20-second bursts. I stirred in between each burst to ensure the chocolate didn’t get too hot. Keep a close eye on the chocolate you don’t want it to get too hot and bloom when it cools.
Related Recipes
As with all Rocky Road recipes, I added marshmallows to the chocolate but instead of adding a biscuit like a digestive, I added in peanuts instead. You can half and quarter the peanuts if you prefer but I just added them in whole.
I also added the Snickers bars. I cut them lengthways and then horizontally to get lots of little pieces of Snickers bars.
Caramel
I decided to add caramel to this Rocky Road too. So, similar to my Rolo Rocky Road and Twix Rocky Road, I put half the Rocky Road mixture into the square tin and added spoonfuls of caramel randomly over the top. I then added the last of the rocky road mixture on top and added some spoonfuls of caramel on top.
I used carnations caramel for this, so that when you cut into the Snickers Rocky Road you get lots of little caramelly pockets. It does need to be a thick gloopy caramel, so Carnations Caramel is perfect. I wouldn’t recommend a thin, runny caramel sauce or it will just run out the bottom/sides.
Square Tin
Whenever I make Rocky Road I always use an 8″ square cake tin, lined with baking parchment. This recipe paired with the 8″ tin does mean that you get a deliciously, thick slice of rocky road.
You could use a larger tin if you prefer thinner pieces of Rocky Road.

Alternatives
As I said above I used peanuts in this recipe rather than biscuits. You can use biscuits if you prefer just use the same weight of biscuits as peanuts and crush them up before adding them to the chocolate.
