An easy no-bake Easter rocky road recipe for kids, packed full of mini creme eggs, mini milkybar eggs, and good old-fashioned Cadbury mini eggs too!
It's rich, indulgent, and best of all it takes just 15 minutes to make (although you have to be patient and wait for it to set before tucking in!).
A friend described this to me (after tasting a slice!), as a chocoholics dream come true, and I think that's pretty close to the mark!
This easy no-bake Easter slice is packed to the brim with dark, milk, AND white chocolate, as well as chocolate-filled mini eggs!
My kids love helping with this recipe, and it's also a really easy one to follow on their own when they're old enough!

🥄 Equipment
🔪 How to make Easter Rocky Road
The recipe card with ingredient quantities and detailed instructions can be found at the bottom of the post
One: Place the butter, sugar, broken-up milk, and dark chocolate (and cocoa powder if using) in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave in 40-second bursts, stirring in between until fully melted.
Two: Stir in the crushed digestives, marshmallows, and mini eggs.
Three: Press into a 20cm baking tin lined with cling film. Use the back of a heavy metal spoon to really compact it down. Place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Four: For the topping, melt the white chocolate in the microwave (in 40-second bursts again), cool for a few minutes, then spread over the rocky road base. Scatter over chopped mini eggs and halved frozen creme eggs. Chill overnight until set, before cutting into squares.
Top Tips
- If you're using mini creme eggs, make sure they have been frozen for at least two hours prior to making the recipe. Freezing them will stop them becoming too squished when you mix all of the ingredients together in the bowl. It also makes them easy to slice in half for the topping!
- Make sure you use vegetarian marshmallows if you need the Easter rocky road to be vegetarian-friendly.
- Don’t crush all of the digestives too finely. You want some nice bits of crunchy texture.
- When pressing the rocky road mixture into the tin, use the back of a metal spoon and make sure you press it down very firmly to compact it.
- For a less thick rocky road use a 23cm (9 inch) square baking tin, rather than a 20cm (8 inch) square tin. It will also make cutting the rocky road easier!
🍴 Serving suggestions
Serve the rocky road at Easter parties and bake sales along with other fun Easter bakes such as mini egg tiffin, and creme egg brownies.
📖 Variations
- Omit the marshmallows and make an Easter tiffin instead.
- Add the zest of an orange for more flavour.
- Use different types of mini egg. Terry's do chocolate orange mini eggs now!
- Instead of a white chocolate topping, use milk chocolate instead. I prefer milk chocolate, but my kids prefer white!
🥡 Storage
- Store: Place the rocky road bars in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
- Freeze: Rocky road can be frozen for up to 3 months.
❓ FAQs
