White Chocolate Rocky Road

I've fallen back in love with Sundays, after working them for four years they have finally come back to me and I've embraced them with a firm grip. Its just a day that is chilled out, although uni work is staring me in the face and procrastinating is a skill you develop very well at uni, so after this blog post im going to have my head stuck in books for a few hours. Fun, right? At least I've got the thought of going out for a roast with Jake later on keeping me going! Haven't had a good roast in ages, so looking forward to some decent gravy, that's the best part for me. Oh and pudding afterwards, can you tell I have a huge sweet tooth? 

As you can see, I'm in for a fun few hours! Also.. I have a huge love for penguins. 

With Halloween just around the corner it's sweets galore in every supermarket which isn't such a bag thing because everyone loves cheap sweets! These rocky roads are an alternative to sweets if you've forgotten to do a last minute rush to the shops to get sweets for trick or treaters or if you just fancy something extra with chocolate. Normally they are made with milk or dark chocolate but I wanted to use white chocolate as I love cranberries coated in white choc. You may see rocky roads as more of an Easter treat or maybe that's just me but they work all year round and what you add is really up to you which is great! 

These literally take no time at all to make and no cooking is required - sometimes being a lazy cook is okay.

On another note I'm giving the blog a spruce up and a little revamp. A little present from me to you, if you like. SO please let me know what you think of the new look? Would mean a lot to get some feedback. It may take a few days to get it to look just how I want it too so bare with me whilst I get it up and running.
