Rocky Roads Recipe 🍫
Description: A Nigella Lawson recipe that’s so easy to make that kids love to do it. You can either eat these as they are, which I mostly do, or chop them up and stir into slightly softened vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Add on the time to cool as this depends on the environment but doesn’t take very long at all.
