I’ve been meaning to make these rocky road bars forever: when I saw so many delicious ingredients combined I knew the candy would be great. And it really was (not to mention how ridiculously easy this recipe is).
I have the same feeling about “Carnage”: so many great actors directed by Polanski. It has got to be good. Too bad I’ll have to wait a while to find out. ;)
White chocolate, cranberry and strawberry rocky road
slightly adapted from the always wonderful Donna Hay Magazine
800g white chocolate, chopped
2½ cups quartered white marshmallows
½ cup chopped dried apples
1 ¾ cups (192g) sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, sliced lengthwise
Very lightly butter a 20x30cm (8x12in) baking pan and line it with foil (the butter will keep the foil from sliding around the pan).
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water – do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water – and cook until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from the heat, add the marshmallow, dried apples and cranberries – keep some of the cranberries for decoration – and stir until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with the dried strawberries and reserved cranberries. Set aside until firm, 2-3 hours (the recipe calls for placing the pan in the refrigerator but I chose not to).
Cut into pieces, remove the foil and serve.
Makes 25 – I cut them a bit smaller and got 32

Fabulous Rocky Road! The white chocolate has quite an elegant appeal. I very much like the combination of sweet strawberries and tangy cranberries with the white chocolate.
These look amazing! They would be great for around Christmas! :D
This looks really decadent and I can't believe it's that easy to put together. The photographs are just gorgeous..
I don't know how many calories they have, but I would do them just for these gorgeous colors!
This looks amazing! Love! And love your movie snippets as well...I count on you to keep me in the loop, hehe :)
Looks delicious! I love white chocolate.
Ewww I love sweet snacks with fruit, the fruit helps balance the guilt of the chocolate.
Oh but wait, I don't suffer guilt eating chocolate so that's kind of a mute point huh?

Wow, gorgeous pictures and SUCH a great twist on rocky road!!!! I think I'm going to have to make these for Christmas, because the red and white looks so festive.
Where do you find the freeze dried strawberries and apples? My local grocery store doesn't carry them.
Hey, there,
I live in São Paulo, Brazil.
The best thing is there's no need for an oven when most of them need one for this type of recipe! ^^
Where can I find freeze dried strawberries?
