Armed with only a microwave and an electric frying pan I've had to have a bit of a re-think on my Christmas baking plans. Lucky for me one of favorite holiday treats needs no oven at all. Making rocky road is a bit of a christmas tradition for me and the best part is all I need is a microwave, Its that easy.

I'm not sure what exactly it is that makes a rocky road a rocky road, as far as I can tell as long as there's chocolate, marshmallows, a jelly element and a crunchy element I'm on the right track. With those rules in mind I've decided to make up a bunch of rocky road combinations based on what I think will be yummy and do a little series of posts sharing the results.
Mum and Dad always use milk chocolate, other people I know swear using dark chocolate is real way rocky road, but me I love white chocolate, most days it is my favorite by far. Wanting to make a pretty rocky road I started with white chocolate and went with pink and red sweets, not only was it pretty it was darn delicous too. I think its the crunchy buttery bites of shortbread that make this the best rocky road ever! Try it I promise you wont be disappointed.
For the Rocky Road100 grams mini marshmallows
180 grams shorbread fingers
180 grans berries and cream lollies
360 grams white chocolate
1/4 cup coconut
To make the Rocky Road- first up get your pan ready, line a 20x30cm brownie pan with baking paper and prepare the ingredients. Chop the raspberries and cream in half and the shortbread into small pieces. Break up the chocolate into a microwave safe bowl.
