Christmas Rocky Road

 

CHRISTMAS ROCKY ROAD

(makes about 20 pieces)

 

Ingredients:

400g (14oz) milk or plain chocolate

150g (5oz) unsalted butter, diced

150g (5oz) mini marshmallows

150g (5oz) digestive biscuits, roughly crushed

75g (3oz) mixed milk and white chocolate Maltesers

50g (2oz) toasted hazelnuts

4 tbsp Bonne Maman Berries & Cherries Conserve

 

Method:

1. Lightly oil a tin that measures 18x18cm (7x7in), then line with a sheet of clingfilm. Break the chocolate into a medium bowl and add the butter. Sit the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Leave to melt for 10-15min.
2. When both have melted, stir quickly together until smooth. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the conserve.
3. Spoon one third of the chocolate mixture into the prepared tin then dot the surface with half the conserve.
4. Then, spoon half the remaining mixture into the tin and dot with the remaining conserve.
5. Finish with a layer of chocolate mixture. Level the surface and cover with cling film. Chill overnight.
6. Turn out the rocky road and cut into bite-size chunks.

 

To freeze: chill, pack and freeze at the end of step 5.

To use: thaw overnight in the fridge.
