Ingredients

Method

Cook time: 35 minutes plus cooling.

Put a pan on a high heat with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and the rosemary sprig. Stir in the popcorn kernels until well coated. Put the lid on and as the corn starts to pop, hold the lid firmly in place with a tea towel and give the pan a shake every few seconds to make sure all the kernels get popped. Turn the heat off, then remove any unpopped kernels with a spoon, along with the rosemary sprig.

Roughly chop the nuts and stir into the popcorn with the coconut, then finely grate in the clementine zest and return the pan to a low heat, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes, or until smelling incredible. Drizzle in the ginger syrup, add the dried fruit and chop or crumble in the mixed treats, then turn the heat off. Remove a large spoonful of the mixture and put aside to decorate the rocky road later.

Snap the dark chocolate into a large heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and leave to melt, stirring occasionally. Once glossy and smooth, add the popcorn mixture and stir well. Grease and line a baking tray (25cm x 30cm) with greaseproof paper, then pour over the mixture, spreading it out fairly evenly. Melt the milk and white chocolate in separate bowls and drizzle over the rocky road in whatever fashion you like, then scatter over the reserved handful of mixture, poking it into the chocolate. Leave to cool for a few hours so it hardens and sets. Break into random chunks, or slice up more delicately. Delicious bagged up and given as a gift, or with a cup of tea or coffee, or a glass of port or Vin Santo.
