Easy Peasy Rocky Road

I love to make Rocky Road as it is so easy to make, yet so tasty! This recipe is a firm favourite with my family and friends, its a great tray bake recipe to be enjoyed with a cuppa :)

You will need

150g Butter

250g Cookies (whichever you prefer)

350g Dark chocolate ( trust me it works better with dark )

150g Marshmallows

4 Tbsp Golden syrup


Baking

. Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup together in a saucepan on a very low heat, making sure you do not burn the mixture (keep mixing)

. Bash the cookies whilst still inside the bag with a rolling pin

. Poor the cookies into the mixture and stir

. Add your marshmallows

. Put some grease-proof paper into your desired baking tin, I use this because it makes it way easier to get the Rocky Road out once it has set

. Leave in the fridge for at least two hours or over night if you can

. Remove from tin and slice accordingly

. Sprinkle with icing sugar, grab a cup of tea and serve

Enjoy:)

Holiday throwback

As the sun has decided to come back out again, I started to look back over some of the amazing places around the world I have had the opportunity to visit. Although they make me sad and miss travelling it gets me excited for what the next few years might hold. I don’t begrudge not holidaying very much the last few years as we have been saving up for what is going to be the best day of our lives, but I can’t wait for us to start travelling the world together <3
Here are some snaps of the amazing places I have already been lucky enough to visit…

Destination check list

I am a massive fan of holidays and traveling. I am so lucky to have already visited some amazing places in the world, however, I am beginning to have serious withdrawals. So naturally, as us women do, I have started compiling a list of places I really want to visit in the next two years... recommendations welcome.

Florida
We have already booked our holiday to Florida next year for our honeymoon, I can’t wait to go back as it’s such an amazing place there is so much to see and do. Me and my husband to be (that sounds so weird) are already planning where we want to eat, the shopping and obviously which parks we want to visit first J

Morocco
I have never visited anywhere like Morocco, but I can imagine the culture and cities are beautiful. I love the idea of popping to the markets, trying new cuisines and relaxing all in the same place. I’m gradually getting bored of those holidays where you sit by a pool all day, so I think somewhere like this would be really interesting and fun!

The Big Apple
I’m pretty sure it’s every girls dream to go to New York City! I have always dreamed of visiting near Christmas, perhaps with the chance of a sprinkling of snow and some Christmas shopping, so I am really hoping to go over next Christmas! I might have to make a hint or two to Liam J

The South of France
Being just over the border it seems silly not want to visit the South of France, I have heard from so many people how beautiful and warm it is. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to warm pastries, drink wine & cheese of an evening and get a tan all at the same time!?

Thailand
I am so lucky that I have an Uncle that lives in Thailand, why have I not visited yet!? I definitely will be venturing over within the next two years. So many people go travelling there, I would be silly not to go and make the most of having my own personal tour guide.

I wonder in two years how many of these places I will have ticked off my list, or whether my list may have changed?

Any travelling tips?


Any amazing places I should add to my list?
