We are heading to Disneyland Paris this weekend which calls for some appropriately child like treats to take along. Presenting...chocolate chip cookie and jelly bean rocky road!
Rocky road is truly the easiest thing to make and you can put just about anything in it. For example, while searching for the ingredients for my chocolate chip cookie and jelly bean concoction I came across coconut covered marshmallows. I stood there for a while deliberating and came to the conclusion...why not! So they went in too.
On another note...It is finally starting to feel like Spring is on its way. The water features are back to liquid form, flower buds are starting to emerge and you can get away with wearing three layers instead of the usual four. While this is a nice change, it is bitter sweet. By the time the real warm weather turns up we will be returning to a New Zealand Winter...

Chocolate Chip Cookie and Jelly Bean Rocky Road
600 grams Milk Chocolate
300 grams Coconut covered Marshmallows (Or plain with a little shredded coconut)
225 grams Chocolate Chip Cookies - roughly chopped
200 grams Jelly Beans (I used all the berry flavors out of a mixed bag)
100 grams Peanuts
1. Line small tray or medium sized cake tin with baking paper.
2. Melt chocolate in a large bowl, either on top of a pot of hot water or in the microwave. Just remember that chocolate burns easily so keep an eye on it.
3. Pour all of the other ingredients into the bowl with the chocolate and mix through, making sure everything is covered in the chocolate.
4. Pour the mixture in to the tin. You may need to spread it out a bit with the back of a spoon to make it roughly even in thickness.
5. Place in the fridge until set and then chop into chunks with a warm knife.
