This easy, no bake White Twix Rocky Road with shortbread chunks, white chocolate, marshmallows and white Twix pieces is the perfect sweet treat for Twix bar fans!
Have you noticed the white Twix bars in the shops recently? As far as I’m aware they’ve been available in America for a long time, but they’ve only just hit U.K shores.
I wasn’t sure about them at first. I’m always a bit wary of any new variations of chocolate bars because so many of them have been pretty disappointing. I wasn’t convinced white chocolate would work in a Twix bar, but they are actually pretty good!
The white chocolate works so well against the crunchy biscuit and smooth, sweet caramel.
I have a few no bake recipes on here, but up until now I didn’t have a proper rocky road bar recipe. So I decided to take some white Twix bars and turn them into rocky road with shortbread chunks and mini marshmallows.
Ingredient list
- Butter
- Golden Syrup
- White chocolate
- Shortbread biscuits
- Pink and White Mini Marshmallows
- 5 White chocolate Twix, chopped into bite sized pieces
method
Step one – melt the butter, white chocolate and golden syrup together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. White chocolate burns/separates very easily, so this must be done very slowly. Don’t let the base of the pan touch the water and as soon as the mixture has melted, remove it from the heat.
Step two – when the chocolate mixture has melted and is smooth, set aside for a couple of minutes to cool down a little before stirring in the mini marshmallows, shortbread chunks and chopped Twix bars.
Step three – pour this into a lined 20x20cm square baking tin.
Smooth the top and place in the fridge while you melt some more white chocolate for the topping.
Step four – retrieve the rocky road from the fridge and pour over the melted chocolate.
Decorate with chopped Twix bars and pop back in the fridge for about 2 hours or until firm enough to cut into slices.
how long does rocky road last?
Rocky road will keep well for up to 7 days in an airtight container.
I prefer to keep it chilled. It can also be frozen for up to two months.
playing around
- Add 50g dried cranberries to the rocky road for a fruity twist that will add a nice contrast to all the creamy sweetness.
- Glace cherries would also work very well with the white chocolate.
- Don’t like white chocolate? Swap it for milk or dark chocolate and use regular Twix bars.

White Twix Rocky Road
This white Twix rocky road is loaded with shortbread chunks, mini marshmallows, and chopped white Twix bars. It really is the perfect sweet treat for white chocolate fans!
Ingredients
- 300g White Chocolate
- 125g Soft Butter
- 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
- 200g all butter shortbread fingers, chopped into small pieces (a mixture of small and larger chunks is ideal)
- 100g mini pink and white marshmallows
- 4 White Twix bars, chopped into bite sized pieces
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- 150g White Chocolate
- 1 White Twix bar, chopped into bite sized pieces
Instructions
- Grease and line a 20x20 square baking tin.
- Melt the white chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. White chocolate burns very easily, so make sure the water isn't boiling.
- When the chocolate mixture has melted and is smooth, remove from the pan of simmering water and set aside for a couple of minutes before stirring in the shortbread chunks, mini marshmallows and chopped Twix bars. Using a spatula, smooth the top of the rocky road out as best as you can, but don't worry too much about it. Place the tin in the fridge while you get on with melting the chocolate for the topping.
- Melt the 150g white chocolate in a heatproof bolw set over a pan of barely simmering water. When the chocolate has melted, remove the rocky road from the fridge and pour the chocolate all over the traybake, tilting the edges of the pan so the rocky road has an even covering of chocolate. Decorate with chopped Twix bar pieces before popping back into the fridge to set for about 2 hours. When the rocky road has set, cut into bars using a sharp knife.
Notes
Please note the rocky road will take up to two hours to set in the fridge.
You could add a fruity twist to this rocky road by adding chopped glace or dried cherries, sultanas or cranberries.

I haven’t spotted the white chocolate twix yet, but I bet my kids have. I think they would love to make this over the summer holidays – pinning 🙂
I never thought of using white chocolate for rocky road – brilliant!
Thank you so much! I hope you all enjoy it 🙂
Thanks Heidi! It’s very sweet but if you’re a white chocolate fan you’ll love it.
These candies look delightful. I am becoming a big fan of golden syrup and I love white chocolate.
This is a new addiction waiting to happen! It looks delicious
Thanks Jere, golden syrup is amazing! There’s nothing else like it.
Thanks Sisley, it is rather addictive!
Just wondering does the recipe mean individual Twix fingers when it refers to bars? Or does it mean Twix packets? Thanks!
Hi Louise, good question! I use the white Twix multipack bars for this recipe (they come in packs of 9 and they weigh 23g each.) You’ll need 4 bars (8 individual fingers) plus one extra bar for the topping. Hope this makes sense! Let me know if I can be any more help 🙂
Never seen white choc rocky roads before, they look AMAZING!!! What white chocolate do you use, i read somewhere it can split?
Hi Lauren, I use Callebaut – it tastes lovely and hasn’t split on me yet! 🙂
I would try these with pretzel bits in them as well. The salt would enhance them while breaking up the sweetness, plus it would add extra crunchiness. What a great recipe!!
I LOVE this idea!
