Almost every year I make Christmas treats – sometimes its mince pies, or gingerbread, but I would have to say everyone’s favourite is my rocky road.
Rocky road is easily modified, so if you don’t like turkish delight, replace it with extra marshmallows or some dried cranberries or even glace fruits. Replace peanuts with extra pistachios for a peanut-free version. Its so easy – My kids even helped me make this batch.
Try this great recipe, it will become a favourite of yours too!
Enjoy!

Store rocky road in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
