Aisling's Sleepover Rocky Road



Made with Aunty Geraldine for her sleepover on 22nd August 2013

 Gather your ingredients Chocolate buttons, Moro (a complete must!!), Crunchie, Mars Bar, Marietta biscuits, Malteesers, Caramel Disks, Smarties and whatever else you would like to put in!

First melt the chocolate buttons. Then ...

 ...while it is melting put all the other ingredients in a bowl. Break them, crush them, pour them into the dish depending on what you are putting in. (I leave the Malteesers and Smarties whole.)

Cover and place in the fridge until it is set.

 Don't forget to lick the spoon!! Teeheehee!


When it is ready, take it out of the fridge, cut into pieces and ENJOY!

Time for Cake!!

One of my specialties is to bake shaped cakes. I just made a Skyscraper cake out of Marsbar Squares recipe for my Godsons birthday (last two pics using caramel, white chocolate and fruit flavoured cake decorating tubes for details) but usually I make a basic sponge cake and decorate with a butter icing and treats (all the other creations).  I've made many over the years but these have to be a few of my favourites:

My Butter Icing:
Mix well, 250g butter, 450g sifted icing sugar, 60ml milk.
I add food colouring when needed. (If using a liquid colour then use less milk)
