Honeycomb rocky road spectacular

My youngest brother's absolute favourite thing to make (and eat!) is rocky road. I'm not a massive fan of the glacé cherries that seem to feature in most British recipes so we made up our own version which is very indulgent. 

You will need:
200g amaretti (almond) biscuits
100g white chocolate
300g plain chocolate
175g butter (cut into little chunks)
4 tbsp golden syrup
A big bag of Maltesers (we used a 135g family-sized one)
2 Crunchie bars
50g mini marshmallows

Put the amaretti biscuits into freezer bags and smash into large chunks using a rolling pin. You don't want dust, more biscuity boulders. Keep the Crunchies in their wrappers and also gently bash with the rolling pin to break them up a bit.

Break up the white and plain chocolate and melt together with the butter and golden syrup. We did this in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds on the top setting, but it can also be done in a bowl over boiling water.

Once your chocolate is all melted and the butter/syrup is stirred through, you can then pour in your biscuit boulders and broken Crunchies.



You can then pour in your bag of Maltesers - it's quite nice to keep them whole as they look brilliant when you cut through the finished product!


Add the mini marshmallows and give it all a good stir to coat everything in the chocolate. Press the mixture into a container lined with clingfilm or a non-stick baking tray (which is what we did).


Pop the container in the fridge for about 3 hours until the chocolate has cooled and gone completely hard. The rocky road then just needs to be cut into slices (little ones because it is so rich...and then you can also get away with eating lots of them!)



If you don't like amaretti biscuits or almonds then that can easily be substituted for any other biscuits such as digestives or rich teas. 
As long as you add 400g of chocolate in total you can use any type you like!

Frozen yogurt breakfast bowl

I feel as if Instagram and Pinterest are awash with photos of breakfast bowls containing ingredients I just can't get my hands on in Wales (mail order acai berries anyone?) I did want to jump on the trend bandwagon however and so have been enjoying frozen yogurt breakfast bowls instead (sprinkled with some  homemade granola of course - this batch has cashews rather than ginger in though).  I make this in my smoothie maker - anything with the ability to blitz frozen fruit will do. I can thoroughly recommend this as a breakfast to get you kick-started in spring! To make 1 portion of frozen yogurt breakfast bowl you will need: A handful of frozen berries - the major supermarkets do this really well 1 banana 1 tablespoon of greek yogurt A splash of milk From experience of multiple attempts at this, you need to order the ingredients in the blender so that the banana and yogurt are nearest the blade (to create a kind of paste) with the frozen berries ...

My new smoothie maker

Yesterday I was invited over to a friend's house for a "wii and juicing" party on the same night as the very first social of the year at university. It's obvious which option I went for. After having a glass of the juice she whipped up I decided that following our exam results, due to be released the following day, I would treat myself to a slightly cheaper smoothie maker that I had set my heart on. Unfortunately the results were delayed by three days, but I decided to buy the smoothie maker anyway because I was so desperate to try out some recipes! The two that I have tried out so far are a cucumber, mango and ginger beauty, the other a peanut and banana smoothie. Both are super duper. The quantities are for the 600ml smoothie maker I used; you may need to adjust accordingly! A lot of the quantities are halves of fruit BUT if you chop up the lot you can freeze it ready for the next time you want to make it! I'm excited already! For the cucumber, mango and...

Coconut and ginger granola

My standard breakfast most of the time involves oats in some way, be it porridge or granola. Recently I've really got into coconut oil and so this granola recipe uses it with ginger to make for a really tasty but quite subtly flavoured granola. I enjoy mine with yogurt and fruit but it would work well with milk too! The quantities are enough to fill a large Kilner jar and tend to last me a fortnight. This granola doesn't hold quite as well as the shop bought type as there is less sugar; it is more like baked oats. The ginger syrup is the substitute for the sugar added to usual granola recipes and I think it is a lot more tasty. To make a large batch of coconut and ginger granola you will need: 3 cups oats  1 cup nuts/seeds (I use a variety of different ones including pine nuts and sunflower seeds) 2 tbsp coconut oil 1 tbsp ginger syrup from a jar of stem ginger (you could even add some finely sliced stem ginger if you wanted!)
