    After making a batch of Christmas Rocky Road a couple of weeks ago, I was inspired to have a play with some different combinations.  I’d bought a bag of popping candy a few months ago on an impulse and as a result it had been sitting unopened in the pantry ever since.  I thought white chocolate rocky road might be fun to try, and thought why not add the popping candy to it – I mean what could go wrong?!?

    Pop Rocky Road

    The candy certainly started popping when I added the melted white chocolate to the mix, which made me a little worried it would lose some of it’s effect when the time came to try it.  Thankfully there was still some ‘pop’ left when my husband and I tried a small piece, and we both agreed while it was certainly a different combination, it still tasted great.

    This Popping Rocky Road would make a great gift for teachers, family and friends.  You could also make a batch of my Christmas Rocky Road and combine a few pieces of each in a christmas themed tin or wrapped in cellophane.

      My friend makes a wicked one with raspberry gummies, shortbread and chocolate. It’s so naughty but so nice! I might have to unearth the recipe from the archives. I am so going to keep an eye out for popping candy, it’s one thing I have never grown out of!

      I didn’t know you could buy pop candy! Shows how often I walk down the lolly aisle. Well actually I walk down it every time I shop but I always go to the chocolate section. A question with the rocky road… how do you stop the marshmallows from melting into the chocolate? I assume you have to cool the chocolate down before mixing? I’ve tried this too and the marshmallows still melt into the chocolate.

        I do spend a little time in the lolly aisle checking out all the products! I’ve actually never had that problem before, maybe you are cooking your chocolate for too long? I always remove mine from the heat when there are still a few lumps in it and just keep stirring until they melt x
