Hello lovelies,
It’s the midst of summer, the temperature in the UK continues to rise significantly and I know so many of you won’t want to be in the kitchen with the cooker on baking all day.
Therefore, I wanted to share with you a super quick and easy, no-bake (just using a hob) recipe that is super delicious and won’t have you slowly but surely melting away in the kitchen.
If you hadn’t guessed by the title, today I’m sharing with you a peanut butter rocky road recipe inspired by the incredible talented Chloe, known online as ‘biteofthebakes’.

If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know that I’ve mentioned a fair few times now about how my Nan is my rocky roads biggest fan. Every Birthday, Mother’s Day, Easter and all the occasions in between, I’ll gift her a box of rocky road and she’ll be thrilled.
When I saw Chloe’s peanut butter version online recently, I knew I had to recreate it for my Nan and between my Nan and my loved ones who got to try a slice – it went down a treat!
Peanut butter is such a powerful, unique taste but it works so beautifully alongside the ingredients in today’s rocky road. If you’re a PB fan, I can guarantee that you’ll be falling head over heels in love with this no-bake sweet treat I’m sharing with you today.
So, if this rocky road has caught your attention and got you wanting to recreate a batch for yourself, you know the drill by now. Keep on scrolling below and you’ll find today’s recipe.

- Secondly, in a large mixing bowl, add the 300g of broken up digestive biscuits, 150g of mini marshmallows, 200g of Reece’s minis and 100g of coloured smarties and mix together.
- Next, in a large saucepan, over a low heat, melt together the 400g of milk chocolate, 100g of golden syrup, 100g of unsalted butter and 150g of peanut butter, until smooth.
- Once melted together, pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix together until everything is evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
- Pour the rocky road mixture into the prepared baking tin and using a spatula, press the mixture down into the tin until compact.
- Set the tin to one side.
Ingredients You Need To Decorate:
- In a medium saucepan, over a low heat, melt the milk chocolate.
- Once melted, remove from the heat and pour over the top of the rocky road and spread out evenly to all four corners.
- In a small piping bag, add the loosened peanut butter.
- Snip the very tip of the piping bag off and pipe lines from one side of the tin to the other.
- Then, using a knife, carefully run the knife in the opposite direction to the lines to create a feathered effect across the top of the rocky road.
- Sprinkle the 100g of halved Reece’s minis across the top of the chocolate.
- Place the rocky road into the fridge to chill for a minimum of 4 hours, until everything is perfectly set.
- Finally, once chilled, remove from the baking tin and cut into 16 pieces and then it’s ready to be served.

See, I told you! No passing out due to the rising heat in the kitchen, super quick to throw together, an easy step-by-step guide to follow and the finished product is unbelievably yummy – what more could you possibly want?
Huge shoutout to Chloe for creating such a delicious sweet treat! My Nan who, as I’ve said is a huge rocky road lover, absolutely adored these and has since hinted to me about making another batch.
That’s all the signs you need to get yourself creating a batch of your own. It is guaranteed to draw you back for another… and then another… and another piece *wink wink*.
Let me know in the comments below if you make this rocky road yourself and if you do, what your thoughts are on it. Do you like PB? Did you enjoy the addition of it in today’s rocky road? Have you now converted to preferring a peanut butter rocky road over a plain one?
Sending you all tons of love & hugs as always,
