Costa may have reopened some branches across the UK this week, but if you fancy getting your fix at home you can.
The coffee chain has shared a simple recipe for making its famous rocky road bites at home.
And all it takes is five simple steps and ingredients that you can pick up during one of your essential shops.
According to Costa, this is everything you'll need.
Ingredients
- 18cm square tin lined with baking paper
- 200g digestive or rich tea biscuits
- 135g butter or vegan spread
- 200g dark chocolate
- 2-3 tbsp golden syrup
- 100g mini marshmallows (or vegan alternative)
- Icing sugar to dust
- Finally, go wild with 100g of any type of dried fruit, glacé cherries, chopped nuts, honeycomb or popcorn. Yum.
Method
Step 1: Place the biscuits into a freezer bag and bash with a rolling pin. Be careful not to break up too much as you will want some larger pieces not just crumbs.
Step 2: Gently melt the butter or margarine in a large saucepan. Break up the chocolate and add along with the golden syrup. Keep the heat very low and stir constantly until everything is combined and the chocolate has totally melted. Leave to cool in the pan.
Step 3: Add all the ingredients into the cooled chocolate mixture and stir until everything is coated.
Step 4: Tip the mixture into the lined tin and spread out. Chill for at least 2 hours (it'll be worth the wait, trust us).
Step 5: Remove from the tin and place on a board. Remove the paper lining, dust with icing sugar and cut into bars.
