Gluten Free Gingerbread Men Rocky Road
Christmas is the perfect time to get creative with your sweet treats, and this Gingerbread Men Rocky Road is a festive twist on a classic favourite. With the rich creaminess of milk chocolate, the delightful crunch of gluten-free gingerbread men, and the chewy sweetness of mini marshmallows, every bite feels like a little Christmas celebration.
The addition of crystallized ginger adds a zesty warmth, making this rocky road even more indulgent. This no-bake treat is incredibly easy to make and is ideal for sharing during the holiday season.
Whether you’re looking for a crowd-pleaser for your Christmas party or a quick homemade gift idea, this recipe has you covered. Simply melt, mix, and set, no fancy techniques required. Plus, it’s entirely gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy a slice of this festive delight.
For this recipe, I used a 9″ x 9″ pan to create the perfect balance of thickness and texture. To ensure a good mix of flavours and textures in every bite, I recommend breaking up the gingerbread men into smaller chunks while keeping a few whole for decoration.

The crystallized ginger gives a hint of spice that pairs beautifully with the chocolate and adds a grown-up twist. Make it your own by adding a handful of chopped nuts or some dried cranberries for an extra festive touch. And if you have little ones at home, this is a fun recipe to make together—kids will love helping to break up the gingerbread men and scatter on the toppings.
Serve this Gingerbread Man Rocky Road as part of a holiday dessert platter, or wrap it up in clear cellophane bags with a ribbon for a thoughtful homemade gift. Either way, it’s guaranteed to bring holiday cheer to everyone who tries it!

Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter, golden syrup, and chocolate together over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth.
-
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the marshmallows, gingerbread pieces, and crystallized ginger.
-
Pour the mixture into your lined 9" x 9" pan, spread evenly, and refrigerate until firm (about 2-3 hours).
Note
Adding butter and syrup prevents the chocolate from becoming brittle and enhances the texture. It’s optional, but highly recommended for a traditional rocky road!
