Instructions

Line a 33cm x 23cm (13 inch x 9 inch) baking tin with baking parchment, taking it up the sides and securing with clips. Grease the parchment.
Melt the chocolate with the butter, golden syrup and salt in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and allow to rest whilst you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Roughly chop the biscuits, cashews and glacé cherries. Then place them into a large mixing bowl along with the popcorn.
Pour the chocolate over these ingredients and mix well using a large spoon until the chocolate has completely covered everything.
Pour in the mini marshmallows and stir in until those are also completely covered and evenly mixed into the rocky road.
Pour the rocky road into the prepared tin and smooth the surface over. Scatter the sprinkles evenly over the top. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
Remove from the fridge and cut into 16 pieces.

Notes

Popcorn. You can use your favourite bag of popcorn, either sweet or salty. However, to take the recipe to the next level it's really easy to make your own Sweet n'Salty Popcorn
Biscuits. You can use your favourite biscuits for this recipe. If you don't need the recipe to be gluten-free then your best choices are Rich Tea Biscuits or Biscoff Lotus Biscuits. If you want your recipe to be gluten-free then you can use gluten-free speculoos style biscuits, ginger biscuits or Gluten-Free Digestive Biscuits.
You can melt your chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave.
Don't add the marshmallows to super hot chocolate otherwise the marshmallows will melt.
It takes a minute or two of good stirring to coat all your ingredients with the chocolate, scooping from the bottom of the bowl since this is a really loaded rocky road, but don’t worry you will get there.
