FOOD: Rocky Road

After getting a little down about things on Monday/Tuesday, I craved one of the things I often use to treat myself to at lunchtimes when I was working - Rocky Road. While my version may never match the bars I use to treat myself to from Marks and Spencer, this offers a cheap and super quick version. I love the fact that this recipe gives you the freedom to add and try different ingredients from alternating the chocolate, marshmallow sizes, other sweet goodies and nuts. You can even make it with, or without condensed milk - there are tonnes of recipes out there just have a google and see which takes your fancy.

What I used;

What I used;

2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

3 cups of mini marshmallows

1 and half cups of bashed about honey roasted peanuts

The mixture before heading into the fridge. 

All you need to do is carefully melt your chocolate chips in a bowl over a pan of hot water on the oven, then add in the vanilla. In a separate bowl measure out the rest of the indigents. Pour in the melted chocolate and stir in until just mixed. Add the mixture into a lined baking tray and pop into the fridge to harden for at least two hours and make sure to lick the spoon. Then cup into squares when it's hardened and enjoy!

Lets just say it went down well with the husband and our close friend. Are you a rocky road fan? What type of indigents and recipes do you use?

So that's another week down also can't believe I'm so close to 500 followers! I hope you all have a lovely weekend, we're hopefully off to a vintage/antique expo and spending the rest of the time head long into a new sewing project!  Do you have any exciting plans?
