Alternatively, heat in the microwave for 2 minutes and stir until smooth.

  3. Next, pour the mixture into the lined tin, press down evenly then leave to set in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.
  4. Finally, remove from the cake tin and slice into 16 snack-sized rocky road bars. Dust with icing sugar to serve.
