Rocky Road

Another of my favourite Christmas treats is Rocky Road. I take it everywhere at Christmas and always seem to have a batch on the go! I love that it is different everytime I make it, all depends on what is in the supermarket and whatever craving I am having at the time!

My core ingredients are:
1 x pack of Nestle Chocolate Melts
1 x pack of Allens Marshmallows and 
1 x pack of Ripe Raspberries (chewy jellies) Allens are great but Black and Gold are just as good.

To that I sometimes add a couple of handfuls of unsalted peanuts, some coconut, some honey comb (Violet Crumble or Crunchie smashed up), maybe some kind of caramel chocolate bar chopped (Mars) or some Crunchie clusters.

Chop up the choc bars to small pieces, and halve the raspberries then melt the chocolate melts and add it to all the other ingredients! Stir to combine then spread onto a tray that is covered in greaseproof paper and refrigerate! Simple and soooooo yumm



So much fun to make!

 

And I can pretty much always guarantee at least one little helper will help me clean-up!

Christmas Reindeer Tiny Teddy Cookies


Don't you just love these! We made them today at school with the reception kids!

Arnott's Milk Arrowroot biscuits, basic white or butter cream icing, choc bits, jaffas and Tiny Teddies for the antlers! How easy are they?

I love the whole assembly thing for reception kids as cooking can get a bit tough as they want to eat everything straight away and get so frustrated having to wait for it to cook!

Any hoo, I am off to make more for Chrismas gifts now ....toodles!
