Rocky Road, is there a definitive recipe? I think not. There are such variations in this traybake and, of course, in the end it's down to personal taste what you put in. I've decided to blog about my findings. Some may say this is just a poor excuse to eat more Rocky Road and, well, they could be right. Who cares.
Cream Puff Cafe, Denholm,
So, for my initial post I would like to introduce you to the Rocky Road I sampled at the Cream Puff cafe at Denholm near Hawick in the Scottish Borders. I was on my way home from a few days away with my husband and as usual I was on the look out for somewhere to have a coffee and a cake. Luckily this little cafe is right next to the main road through this picturesque village so it caught my eye. The cafe itself is quite delightful, full of all the lovely shabby chic, Cath Kidston style that may be all over the place in the Home Counties of England but is far from common in the Borders. My husband had lovely sweet potato and red pepper soup and a ham sandwich made with some fabulous bread but we're not really interested in that.
Let's get to the point. I had a piece of Rocky Road and it was very good. Made with good chocolate it had a generous cherry content which goes down well with me. It also had a crunchiness to it and suspect there were cornflakes in it. Not sure about that in a Rocky Road but it did taste good. Only criticism was that it was a little light on marshmallows. However I would give it 7/10.
