Festive Food Friday - Rocky Road Chocolate

 

Bonjour from a busy SW France,

It has been a few years since I last made Rocky Road which is a little odd  as it is a treat that the French adore and it makes a change from the millions of other chocolate delights available at this time of the year in France.

I thought I would include some in this year's Christmas goodie bags for friends and family.

• As a lover of cranberries, I searched the internet and found this recipe.
• Note I am not a fan of salted peanuts and as I did not have any whole almonds on hand I replaced these with 2 cups of  whole hazlenuts.
• 
  
• Ingredients
• 4 cups marshmallows
• 1 cup roasted almonds *
• 1 cup roasted salted peanuts*
• 1 cup raisins
• 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries 
• 2 x 200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

Directions

1. Mix the marshmallows, almonds, peanuts, raisins and dried cranberries in a large mixing bowl.

2. Melt the dark chocolate and pour over the fruit and nut mix. Stir well to combine.

3. Pour mixture into a paper lined tray and place in fridge for 2-3 hours to set.

4. Cut into bite sized pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Belle journée a vous tous ♥
