Gluten Free Gingerbread Men Rocky Road
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!

- 400 grams Milk Chocolate
- 75 grams butter
- 2 tbsp Golden Syrup
- 150 grams gluten free Gingerbread Men (broken into small pieces)
- 100 grams Mini Marshmallows
- 75 grams Crystallized Ginger (finely chopped)
- 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).
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!
