Caramel Popcorn and Malteser Rocky Road

Caramel Popcorn and Malteser Rocky Road – A delicious, easy to make “no-bake” chocolate treat with popcorn, Maltesers and mini marshmallows

A Tiffin Style Chocolate Square

I am taking a break from healthy Air Fryer recipes, to bring you a decadent no-cook bake for Caramel Popcorn and Malteser Rocky Road.

This recipe for Caramel Popcorn and Malteser Rocky Road is totally decadent, and we ALL love it here at Chez Lavender & Lovage.

Malted milk biscuits are broken up and added to buttery, melted chocolate, before mini marshmallows, maltesers, and caramel popcorn is added.

I also added a bag of Easter Munch Mix from Aldi last time I made these, which has caramel popcorn, pretzels, mini eggs, malt balls, and chocolate beans in it.

However, the basic ingredients make a fabulous Rocky Road when these aren’t in stock, as they are marketed for Easter, and not for all year round.

I discovered that Rocky Road is an American (and Australian) name and version for what we call Tiffin in the UK – basically a “no-bake” chocolate bar.

There are regional differences to both Rocky Road and Tiffin, as I have copied below:

• Australia
  The main ingredients in traditional Australian rocky road are:
  glace cherries or raspberries
  milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)
  desiccated or shredded coconut
  nuts, particularly peanuts
  marshmallow
  The most famous commercial brand of rocky road in Australia is the Darrell Lea “original recipe” version, sold as “Rocklea Road”. This version does not have cherries or raspberries, instead having bigger marshmallow chunks and more coconut. A raspberry version is also available.
• United Kingdom
  The main ingredients in traditional British Rocky Road are:
  dried fruit
  biscuit (usually digestives)
  milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)
  a light dusting of icing sugar on the top (optional)
  United States
• American rocky road brownies
  The main ingredients in traditional American rocky road are:
  milk chocolate
  marshmallow
  walnuts or almonds. The most popular version of rocky road in the U.S. is in ice cream form, which consists of chocolate ice cream, marshmallows (or sometimes a “marshmallow swirl”), and nuts.

My recipe has biscuits, maltesers, caramel (toffee) popcorn and mini marshmallows, all mixed in with milk and dark chocolate, butter and golden syrup.

I have added a list of alternative ingredients you can add, but the basics in this recipe make a truly delicious no-bake chocolate treat, that I often make for our village hub.

I hope you enjoy my recipe today, and I have shared it just in time for Valentine’s Day and Easter too, although you can indulge in this 365 days a year, if you so desire! Karen
