Stopped at Dobbies Garden Centre on the way to the Country Living Christmas Fair recently and felt I had to sample their Rocky Road. The cafe was very busy as they had a two for one deal on the cooked breakfasts. Ignoring the lure of a bacon roll we looked at the cakes. There is the most amazing cake selection, we had to stop ourselves pressing our noses up against the glass like excited children. For research purposes I had to go for the Rocky Road but, decisions, decisions, there were two a white chocolate and milk chocolate. We went for the white chocolate and I have a great picture but at the moment it's refusing to transfer onto the blog! Argh technology!
We expected the white chocolate Rocky Road to be eye wateringly sweet but surprisingly it wasn't. It was good but like many Rocky Roads there was the promise of cherries but it turned out just to be a bit of a tease. The content was ok but not outstanding and I was left wishing that I'd had something else - maybe the milk chocolate one!
(For meringue fans, the one at Dobbies is fantastic, rather overwhelming but amazing. Had it before, I wish to add, didn't have it on top of the Rocky Road!)
