Rocky road Christmas candy
Rocky Road Christmas Candy
Rocky road got its cozy name because of the surface, which looks like a road full of small bumps. However, here we are talking about road bumps that only bring joy, consisting of a delicious filling of nuts, dried fruit and/or candy. It is dipped in melted chocolate, filled into a mold, and then all it takes is a little waiting time before the easiest, most delicious confection can be served.

Rocky road for adults and children
Here, two different variations have been made. A "sophisticated" version for adults and a more playful and sweet version for children. For the adult version, a good dark chocolate is used. It is filled with beautiful dried pomegranates, crunchy pistachios and pieces of marzipan. The marzipan is flavored with a little cognac and orange peel, which really works great! For the children's confection, light chocolate is used. Christmas foam and Smarties are added, which gives a festive look. A little coconut is also sprinkled on top, which makes the appearance a little more Christmassy.
