My one tip for this is to use a chocolate you like to eat. I used Valrhona, which might sound a bit indulgent but, believe me, it worked wonderfully.
75g/3oz butter, plus a knob
400g/13oz dark chocolate
50g/2oz golden syrup
250g/8oz digestive biscuits
120g/4oz large marshmallows
75g/3oz dried sour cherries
Line a medium-sized baking tray with baking parchment. Now melt the butter, 250g/8oz of the chocolate k and the golden syrup in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, and stir to combine.
Put the biscuits in a bowl and roughly bash with the end of a rolling pin, so that you have all different-sized chunks of biscuit and some crumbs. Fold through the marshmallows and sour cherries then carefully stir in the chocolate mix, making sure all the ingredients are coated in chocolate. Spoon into the tray and smooth gently.
Heat the remaining chocolate and the extra knob of butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Pour over the surface of the rocky road mixture and smooth with the back of a spoon to cover the surface. Put in the fridge for at least 3 hours to set. Cut into little squares and serve.
