Like many people I have a really big sweet tooth and when I bake at work with the children I nearly always come away wanting what they have made. Last week they made a gorgeous rocky road which left me with bad cravings! So I decided that I would make a slightly healthier version 🙂

I’m not saying this version is super healthy or fat free but I have used dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate, rice crispy’s instead of biscuits and a mix of fruit and nuts instead of jelly sweets. I would love your opinion on this recipe OR how do you make yours?? Let me know by leaving a comment at the end of the page :). My boyfriend and I  really enjoyed these as they were gone within a few days!

Recipe

Makes 12 Prep Time 10mins  Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 200g Dark Chocolate
• 1 Tablespoon Sweet Freedom (or honey, agarve syrup)
• 50g Marshmallows
• 70g Rice Crispys
• 70g Mix of Fruit & Nuts (I used flaked almonds, resins and pecans)

1. Line your baking tray with grease-proof paper.

2. Break up your chocolate and melt in a bowl above a pan half full of hot water on the hob.

3. Add your sweetener syrup and marshmallows to melt. This is where I need your advice because I added 1 tablespoon of olive oil to loosen the mixture but looking back I don’t think it needed it (which is why I haven’t added on to the ingredients list). If you think your chocolate mixture needs loosen instead I would just add a little knob of butter to melt not olive oil. If you do anything differently please let me know how it went 🙂

4. Pour in your rice crispys, fruit and nuts into the melted chocolate mixture and give it a good mix so it is all covered in chocolate.

5. Pour you lovely mixture into the baking tray and leave to chill for around an hour. Once chilled cut up in to 12 pieces and enjoy 🙂
