Every Friday I will be on twitter (As @MummaRuth or @CookWithYumMum) trying to get a recipe into 140 characters for their #fridayfeasts slot. However, 140 characters can only really give you a snapshot idea of a recipe so I will endeavour to write a much more detailed version on this blog. You'll be able to find them all on The Breakfast Club page.
This week is Rocky Road Chocolate Log. I like making a proper chocolate log, with a sponge and all of the traditional tweaks, but sometimes a simple recipe that requires virtually no cooking, is Kids cooking friendly and basically mostly chocolate is what is needed most.
Ingredients
500g of your favourite sort of chocolate
2 handfulls of something fruity, something crunchy, something sweet and either something nutty or something else to give a similar texture, all chopped into small pieces.
(For mine I used chopped fudge, chopped marshmallows, raisins and rice crisps. Chopped up crunches and Turkish delight work well too)
•Melt 400g of your chocolate slowly in a bowl over hot water
•Remove from the heat and add all of your other ingredients
•Line, with baking paper, a small baking tin, a loaf tin would be good, and pour in the mixture.
•place in the fridge until starting to cool and firm up, check very regularly, maybe every 5 minutes. You need it firm but pliable.
•When starting to firm, remove from fridgeand fillip into a log shape, you may need to squeeze and mould.
•Pop back into the fridge
•Meanwhile carefully melt the remaining 100g chocolate. When done, spread it over your chilled chocolate log. Pop back into the fridge and it's done.
It can be thinly sliced and individually wrapped, or it can be kept whole, one thing for sure, don't worry about finding a storage container, it probably won't last long enough for that
