:: Recipe - Gluten Free, Dairy Free Rocky Road ::

In the week leading up to Easter my work mates and I kept bringing in chocolates for everyone. One of the guys in my team went one step further and made everyone rocky road (except me, he gave me a block of gluten free, dairy free chocolate - so nice of him!). Ever since then I have been craving rocky road.


Fast forward to Easter morning where I received a huge amount of lollies and dairy free chocolate from Mr LG and my Secret Easter Bunny (like Secret Santa - cute, no?). Winning! I realised I had enough ingredients to make some makeshift rocky road. The reality is, I threw a bunch of ingredients into a bowl and hoped for the best, but I've had a few people ask me for the recipe after I posted a photo of it on Instagram, so I thought I would share it with all of you. Obviously, if you don't have any food allergies, you can just adapt this recipe back to 'normal'.


:: Gluten Free, Dairy Free Rocky Road ::

:: Ingredients ::
300g gluten free, dairy free chocolate (I used Sweet Williams)
150g gluten free marshmallows (I used Eskal)
100g Jelly Bellys (I used fruity flavours like cherry, blueberry and peach)
3-4 table spoons desiccated coconut, plus extra to sprinkle on top.

:: Method::
1. Chop marshmallows into quarters, place in a bowl with Jelly Bellys and coconut.
2. Melt chocolate until it has a smooth, creamy consistency. Make sure not to burn it.
3. Pour melted chocolate into the bowl containing dry ingredients. Stir until mixed.
4. Pour into a lined tray and spread to desired thickness.
5. Refrigerated until set. Enjoy!

See? Super easy! And oh my gosh, so yummy! This afternoon I contemplated skipping gym, but realised that in order to be able to devour this rocky road I needed to go to the gym. Totally worth it.
