Twix Rocky Road!

Easy no-bake Twix rocky road with all the delicious chocolatey trimmings!
I am back, and I am ready to share oodles and oodles more delicious recipes, starting with this Twix rocky road. Yeah thats right, Twix. Rocky. Road. HELLO THERE!
I love a Twix bar. I think that they are such an underrated bar, and I don’t even know why! These days, you can buy WHITE CHOCOLATE Twix Bars from a few shops such as Tesco and B&M and they’re the best thing ever.
Twix recipes
I’ve done a couple of recipes with Twix’s now, with my Twix Cheesecake and my Twix Cupcakes, but I really don’t post enough with the good ol’ Twix involved!
I wanted to do a quick and easy traybake, that was utterly full of chocolate after posting my latest two recipes (lemon & raspberry cheesecakes, and my lemon blueberry bundt cake), were very fruity.
The white Twix is something to behold, because it’s still got the classic delicious caramel and biscuit, but the sweet sweet incasing of white chocolate all over. Using the classic, and white in this recipe, was the best decision.
Rocky Road recipes
Rocky road is one of those tray bakes which is just glorious. It’s a no-bake chocolatey treat that is just so incredibly easy to make, and you always adore it when I post a rocky road recipe onto my blog.
My classic rocky road recipe from 2015 is just a delicious thick and easy bake, and it’s quite basic. It’s a milk chocolate base so therefore sweeter, but this recipe has been adapted to suit a balance of milk chocolate and dark chocolate, and of course, the twix.

I feel like this is a bit of a silly choice of a recipe to post seeing as it’s really not that been long since Easter, but how can you resist something as delicious as this?! It’s so quick to make and shove into a tin, and then devour every little morsel yourself once it’s set!
I find making rocky road bars very easy, and very delicious to do. I make them in a variety of ways, but the best bet is to add your butter and golden syrup to a pan and heat until the butter has melted, and then stir in the chocolate until melted.
You can do it other ways where you just add the butter, syrup and chocolate all to the pan, or you can add them all into the microwave! I personally use supermarket own chocolate, or callebaut, and it’s never split on me! If you use chocolates such as Cadburys, that can lead to a split if you’re not careful!
Make sure to not make your syrup mixture, or the mixture in general get too hot, because that isn’t the best. However, with a little faith, you will have the most delicious traybake. One other tip however, make sure to let the chocolate mix cool a smidge if you can before mixing in, otherwise the chocolate around the Twix’s will just melt as well.
Tips & Tricks
- I use this 9″ square tin in this recipe
- If you want to use all milk chocolate you will need to use 500g of chocolate
- If you want to use all dark chocolate, you can use 400g of chocolate
- Any flavour twix works
- These will last for 7+ days at room temp or the fridge once made
- These can freeze for 3+ months
I hope you all love this delicious, quick, and easy no-bake recipe! Enjoy! x

If you wanted to leave out the marshmallows and fruit, how much extra biscuit or twix would you add instead? Thanks
Would these and other rocky roads freeze? I need to make several in advance.
Yes, they will!
AMAZING – second Rocky Road recipe I have made from your blog. My 2 boys, husband and brother hoovered this and it didn’t last longer than 24 hours. My 2 boys do not choose to read however your blog has encouraged them to explore, read and find their next Rocky Road fix – Kinda Beuno it is !!
Hi Jane. Can you please give me some advice on quantities of ingredients for upscaling to a larger size tin. I’m looking to use a 9×13 inch tin so I’m thinking maybe 1/3 to 1/2 extra??
Hi Jane
These look amazing and I’m going to have a go at making some this weekend..
What type of shortbread do you use at not sure which to get?!
Thank you!
Any should be fine – I usually use regular shortbread fingers! Hope this helps! x
Hi Jane, can I swap shortbread for digestive biscuits?
Yes absolutely you can! Enjoy! x
Winner with all the family, took the leftovers into work and they got hoovered up. Next batch is currently chilling in the fridge 🤣
These taste amazing! Can you freeze them?
Yayy thanks so much! Yes you can xx
Hi there
This is a fab recipe I was wondering if we could use it to share with families for Bike Week (we’d link back to your site).
Unfortunately I do not allow sharing of my recipe and images – but you can link to this page for the full recipe instead. x
When you say you use supermarket chocolate, is this cooking chocolate or supermarket own brand from the sweet aisle?
Supermarket own brand from the sweet aisle typically for me, but both work!
Can I use stork instead of unsalted butter?
Sometimes stork can split the mixture if it is over heated, but I have done it myself fine!
These are actually the best rocky roads I’ve ever had. So tasty! I’m going to try more of your recipes now 🙂
This is amazing! Literally my favourite treat to bring to a picnic or have in the fridge for pudding. I’ve had to stop buying marshmallows for a bit because I was literally making one a week minimum for a house of two 😂 such an easy to follow recipe, even my flatmate couldn’t mess it up. I’ve tried a few of the different variations on the blog and I’m definitely making the Christmas pudding one this Christmas. Thanks Jane!!!
Hello
Can you make this without the golden syrup? this isn’t easy to find here in Belgium 🙁
So only butter and no golden syrup. Or can I replace that syrup by something else?
Without the golden syrup I would just use melted chocolate!
Hey Jane!
Can I make this without the golden syrup like the Biscoff rocky road recipe?! Xx
The biscoff one doesn’t use it as it has biscoff in, this one without the syrup and butter is just solid chocolate (so if you don’t mind that, crack on) but it won’t be the same as the biscoff one x
ahh okay I get you, so I couldn’t just melt down chocolate and butter and pour over the twix? I just really suck at using golden syrup for a rocky road because my chocolate doesn’t ever melt it just splits and the butter and syrup just sit on top of the chocolate 🙁 I’ll keep trying! x
Adding a little milk off the heat and beating like crazy often brings the split mixture back – you can use butter and chocolate, it’s just not as nice in my opinion x
No problem, thank you I will give that a try!! 🙂 I’ll keep you posted lol 😉 xx
Hey Jane! 😊
Loved this recipe so much I wondered if I could swap the twix out for kinder chocolate bars? Would this work or not really!
I wanted to try make a kinder chocolate rocky road without the bueno
Yes you can!!
Could you use digestives or rich tea biscuits instead of shortbread. I have both of them but not the shortbread. I’m very keen to make them, all your recipes look amazing.
Yes you can! You can use whatever biscuit you fancy!
Hello,
Thanks for the recipe anything with twix sounds like a good idea to me.
Is there any particular reason you wouldn’t recommend using white chocolate?
As you cannot mix the syrup and butter with the white chocolate. It will be a split icky mess!
Been searching for the right rocky road recipe for a long time now. Came across yours and had to give it a try. I have to say I am so impressed. It’s so easy and tastes absolutely amazing. Not to mention how impressive it looks!!
Awh yayyy!! I’m so glad you love it!!
I just found your recipe this evening and gave it a bash. Looks amazing and it’s currently setting in the fridge. Can’t wait to try out more.
Keep up the awesome blog.
