Millie’s Cookies Recipe

<p>Our no-bake rocky road recipe is simple, delicious and fun to make. It’s filled with gooey marshmallows and crumbly biscuits, then covered in rich, velvety chocolate.</p>
<h3>What does rocky road have in it?</h3>
<p>Typically, rocky road contains dark and milk chocolate, with chunks of marshmallow and biscuit inside. However, variations also contain peanuts, raisins, almonds, or anything else you like! We’ve also drizzled ours in white chocolate, but you could also do this with Nutella or caramel sauce.</p>
<h3>How did rocky road get its name?</h3>
<p>Rocky road takes its name in reference to the chunks of biscuits and chocolate packed into the recipe.</p>
<h3>What’s the difference between tiffin and rocky road?</h3>
<p>Often, rocky road is known as ‘rocky road’ in the US and known as ‘tiffin’ in the UK. However, the difference between rocky road and tiffin is how the chocolate mixture binds together, as well as the ingredients used.</p>
<p>Some tiffin recipes often use condensed milk and cocoa powder, then add the chocolate on top. <a href="https://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/tiffin">Tiffin</a> also tends to contain a medley of fruits, rather than the marshmallows found in rocky road. Rocky road is typically made using melted chocolate and syrup to hold the ingredients together.</p>

<p>Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting out, these chocolate brownies are sure to impress. With only 20 minutes prep time and 5 key ingredients, these chocolate brownies are easy to whip up anytime!</p>
<h3><strong>Why our Ultimate Chocolate Brownie?</strong></h3>
<p>In our chocolate brownie recipe, we use Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar, and believe us when we say these make the most indulgently-rich and gooey chocolate brownies you've ever tasted. You'll never look at another brownie the same way.</p>
<h3>How to Make Your Brownie the Most "Fudgy"</h3>
<p>Billington’s Light Brown Soft Unrefined Cane Sugar adds more moisture than white sugar due to its molasses content, making the brownies extra gooey. Then make sure you bake until just set. Overbaking can dry out your brownies, making them less fudgy.</p>
<p>Once you’ve mastered this chocolate brownie recipe, you can go wild exploring new flavour combos. Try adding Caramac or Biscoff spread to add a new twist - we've shown you how to amend the recipe below.</p>
<h2>How to make Caramac Brownies:</h2>
<p>Caramac lovers: Break 6x 30g bars into the brownie mix right before baking. Once&nbsp;baked, drizzle a melted 30g bar over the top.</p>
<h2>How to make Biscoff Brownies:</h2>
<p>Bonkers for Biscoff? Dollop 200g Biscoff spread into the brownie mix, right before&nbsp;baking. Break up 5 Biscoff biscuits and place the pieces&nbsp;on top of the brownie batter. Bake for 20 minutes extra.</p>
