Easy Rocky Roads A.K.A ‘Snowy Lanes’

Easy Rocky Roads A.K.A ‘Snowy Lanes’

‘Snowy Lanes’ also known as Easy Rocky Roads 

Maybe you’d like to call them Christmas Rocky Roads? I call them festive rocky roads

Either way they are so good you’ll need to be careful you don’t woof them all at once!

I’ve made 3 batches before as they seem to disappear before the big day ha ha!

 

No baking required 

That is obviously a really good thing, no oven necessary! Genius 

Make them and pop them in an airtight container in the fridge they will keep for a week. I doubt they’ll last that long 🙂

Look how beautiful they look studded with lovely colours….

I love the green of the pistachios, next to the red of the place cherries.

Mix that with cranberries and white and pink marshmallows – flipping lovely!

And I promise they taste even better

Ingredients for your Easy Festive Rocky Roads  

To make these lovely rocky roads properly festive I’ve used cranberries, cherries, mini Oreos and pistachios.

You don’t have to use nuts at all if you don’t like them – it’s simply up to you 

You could just go berries and marshmallows – whatever you fancy 

The mix of dark and milk chocolate make them perfect in flavour and very rich! Cut them up small guys 🙂

Then sprinkle with icing sugar and it’s proper Christmas!

You can add anything  you like, try and experiment a bit!

Even though I say so myself they are too good.

So you know how it is when friends and family pop in over Christmas and you want to have coffee and something to offer, well these will do the trick.

 

Delicious & Easy rocky roads!!

The kids love them too as well as the adults! And why not get them to make them?

There’s no cooking at all! NONE!!! 

For me the perfect indulgent Christmas treat (get back in the cupboard Mince Pies …..  and make way for the Festive Rocky Roads, they win hands down for me)

So please have a go and let me know how you get on, please leave me a comment.

I love your comments

    These look delicious! I know my kids would love them!!

    1. When i make them for the kids – i tend to use milk chocolate Cx Thanks for your comments x

  2. Angela / Only Crumbs Remain

    Wow, these are jammed packed with fabulousness! They sound so good especially with those mini oreos!

  3. We’re in the process of perfecting our Christmassy rocky road too! You’re so right about these being a great alternative to mince pies, everyone in my house (including the little ones) love mincemeat but I know a lot of people who would prefer something chocolatey instead and these would be perfect. I love the addition of Oreos too, I’ve not seen those used in rocky road before.
