I must apologise firstly for the lack of attention to my much loved Blog, I know that recipes have been few and far between as late but as usual, well more than usual life has become pretty manic. Firstly we went on holiday, then decided to move in September, so loads of packing, I have been pretty ill with one thing and another and then the icing on the cake was Stephen having a nasty accident involving a bonfire and many trips to hospital !!!! So I am afraid no time for cooking let alone blogging.
 
Life seems to be settling a little more now, packing under control, Stephen on the mend, I’m slowly starting to feel better, so hopefully once settled in my new kitchen I will feel inspired to get back to cooking.
 
In the meantime Hubby has decided to take over and has made his famous Rocky Road for the kids whilst they are on holiday. He always makes it in bulk and always with toppings to suit each child. The recipe below is with mini eggs, which is Hubby’s favourite, but he also makes it with Maltesers, Crunchie’s and Minstrels.
 
This is a great recipe for fun with the kids in the Summer Holidays as no cooking is involved. The only part that they will need a little supervision with is the melting of the chocolate.
