White Chocolate, Cranberry & Pistachio Rocky Road

Gift wrapped rocky road

I discovered this recipe for white chocolate, cranberry and pistachio Rocky Road in the Good Housekeeping’s festive supplement.

I trialled it this morning using half quantities of the listed ingredients and it worked really well. It is my intention to make further batches and to give as Christmas gifts.

Here is my adaptation of the Good Housekeeping recipe.

Realistically, the whole process took around 45 minutes. The end result was exactly as depicted in the magazine supplement.
