Festive Rocky Road
Recipe by Kirsty Hale, cook at Riverford Field Kitchen
- Mixed Riverford nuts, shelled ( leave the hazelnuts and almonds whole but halve the
- walnuts) 300g
- Digestive biscuits, roughly broken into pieces 6
- Riverford dates, pitted and roughly chopped 16
- Mini marshmallows (or chop up large ones) 100g
- Good quality milk chocolate 300g
- Good quality dark chocolate 300g
- Dried cranberries a handful
Line a deep tin or dish (4-5cm deep and roughly 30cm x 20cm) with baking parchment.
Put every ingredient except the chocolate into the tin, making sure it’s all evenly distributed.
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over a pan of simmering water.
Gently heat, without stirring, until the chocolate has melted. Stir briefly to combine the two chocolates, then pour evenly over the nut mixture.
Leave to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 2 hours until firm.
Cut into small pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter and keep in the fridge.
Make this gift even more special by dusting it with icing sugar and presenting it in a personally-decorated box.
