02 Mar Peppermint Crisp and Caramel Rocky Road

After sharing my Caramel Peppermint Crisp truffles and Peppermint Crisp Tart Ice Cream Sandwiches I figured you had probably had enough of the Peppermint Crisp/Caramel flavour combo. I was wrong! My recent Instagram poll has confirmed that 92% of you never get tired of a Peppermint Crisp Tart inspired treat. So I took that on board and whipped up a delicious Peppermint Crisp and Caramel Rocky Road.

With just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes to spare, you can create these deliciously chewy, crunchy, caramelly delights. I doubt you’ll need more convincing than that, but if you do, remember they are calorie-free!

Ok, that’s a lie. But they are just so yummy that you’ll forget all about those pesky calories.

Ingredients:

450g caramel chocolate*
200g Tennis Biscuits
100g white mini marshmallows
4 x 49g bars of Peppermint Crisp

Directions:

• Grease and line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with greaseproof paper.
• Break or roughly chop the chocolate, then place in a heatproof bowl and melt over a pan of simmering water.
• Break the biscuits into pieces. Roughly chop 3 of the Peppermint Crisp bars.
• Once the caramel chocolate is completely melted and smooth, remove from heat and allow to cool for a 5 minutes.
• Stir the biscuits and mini marshmallows into the chocolate, then lastly add the chopped Peppermint Crisp.
• Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and push down with the back of a spoon to flatten the top a bit. Finely chop the remaining Peppermint Crisp bar and sprinkle over the top.
• Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set. Use a serated knife to cut into squares – I find this easier if the rocky road has been left at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

  *You can find caramel chocolate at baking stores and some Pick n Pay’s. If you find the caramel chocolate a bit too sweet, replace half with milk chocolate and swirl the two together as you mix your ingredients.
