rocky road with shortbread
Thought I’d do a little update on my previous rocky road post that I did around Christmas. This time, I made it with shortbread biscuits (eet sum more) vs. tea biscuits (aka marie) and it works out so much better.
I make this for gifts to take to dinner parties and use whatever I have available in my kitchen:
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, I buy chocolate in bulk, 5kgs at a time. You can use any chocolate and I like 80% milk and then I throw in about 20% dark (70%) chocolate just to add some depth. Add the broken biscuits, nuts, cherries or small marshmallows, etc.
Line a shallow dish with flattened-out foil and tip the chocolate and biscuits in. Spread around and even out. Put it in the fridge to cool if you are in a rush, cut it into squares and pack it into cellophane bags with a nice ribbon.
i guess i shouldnt be reading your blog when i am starving, flip this looks delicious and do-able…dream time
Mmmmmm yes I agree with souldiaries – this is making me salivate! Interesting re the shortbread vs tea biscuits…
Thanks Marisa and Vivs, I have had a lot of chocolate to use up lately and people really enjoy these
