Give the gift of delicious homemade Rocky Road this Christmas. With 3 different flavours to choose from, there's something for everyone.

You can’t beat a homemade Christmas gift and this rocky road will be sure to impress your friends and family. Rocky road is one of my favourite things to make!

The combination of chocolate and delicious fillings is so fun to whip up in the kitchen and the kids can join into too, even if it’s just to lick the bowl.

You can choose one of the flavours to make, or make them all. Rocky road is so versatile and I’m sure any of your favourite nuts, dried fruit or confectionary would work well too.

Pop your favourite flavour or an assortment of each into little boxes or wrap up with some cellophane and ribbon, and this recipe is an easy and affordable gift for a loved one this Christmas. I used paper takeaway style boxes and put a cute ribbon and card on top.

The perfect Christmas gift for teachers:

My boys Archie and Henry loved giving the cute boxes to their deserving Kindy teachers as an end of year thank-you and Christmas present from our family.

HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS ROCKY ROAD:

This recipe is so easy, you first melt the chocolate, (I used my microwave but if you don’t have one you can use your stove) add the different filling flavours and spread it out on a tray. Remember to reserve some of the topping ingredients to sprinkle over to add a more decoration and colour at the end.

Set your rocky road in the fridge and then chop it into small pieces, I like to keep mine in the fridge until ready to gift to a friend or family member.

Or if it is too tasty to give away just keep it for yourself in an airtight container in the fridge.

I hope your friends, family or colleagues love these as much as mine did.
