Well there's no more denying that Christmas is just around the corner. I've been practicing my festive eating skills and they are well honed for the upcoming
I'm sharing a super easy recipe today. I dare you to just make one batch and not eat the whole lot.
Rocky Road
You will need:
- 200g milk chocolate
- 100g dark chocolate
- 25g butter
- nuts of choice (or omit, your call)
- 10 marshmallows
- glace cherries
- sweetened dried cranberries
* NB you can pretty much chop and change most of the fillings to your taste. I have a thing for glace cherries. It's a problem. Also you could totally use white chocolate and have that real white Christmas thing going on but I've not tried it myself.
Cut the marshmallows into quarters using kitchen scissors, then chop the cherries in half as well. Quantities are up to you depending on your own tastes but I tend to try to keep them pretty even.I've used almond slivers because someone (I'm looking at you Supertrucker) ate all the peanuts. The almonds are very yummy but I LOVE the saltiness together with the chocolate.
You'll notice an abundance of pink marshmallows as well (still looking at you Supertrucker, and you too big boy!).
Break up the chocolate and pop in a microwave safe bowl together with the butter.
Nuke for 30 seconds then stir. Nuke a further 20 seconds and mix again. From there continue in 10 second increments being sure to really work the chocolate as it can look not as melted as it is and you don't want to burn it.
Combine your fillings with the chocolate then spread into a silicone or baking paper lined slice tin.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or more.
Cut up and eat. Nom nom nom.
