Rocky Road

This recipe has to be the most simplistic yet most satisfying thing you'll ever make. Rocky road are great for a girly catch up with a cup of tea, a picnic treat and even paired with good quality ice cream for a devilish dinner party treat! 
Don't get me wrong, if you're on a diet avoid these at all costs. They're great to make with kids as they don't involve any heat other than one blast in the microwave. I made these in about 15 minutes, they really are super simple.

You will need:

• 30g of Butter
• 3 Small Packets of Chocolate Chips
• 2 Large Handfuls of Marshmallows 
• 2 Large Handfuls of Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
• 1 Can of Condensed Milk

Method:

Simply pop the chocolate chips and butter in a large microwave bowl, pop into the microwave for 25 seconds then stir and microwave again for a following 15 seconds and stir until all the chips are melted. Add the condensed milk, marshmallows, nuts into the bowl and combine thoroughly.

Spoon the chocolate mixture into a greased and lined 20cm x 20cm tin. Place the tin into the fridge until the mixture has set, minimum 2.5 hours. I personally find leaving mine over night then turning out onto a board and cutting into 3cm squares provides me with the best results.

*top tip* Swapping ingredients is all part of the fun of cooking and baking. I occasionally like to add add 4 crushed digestive biscuits for an extra crunch or a small handful of raisins for added chew.
