I’ve been making my Rocky Road a little differently lately. I used to either just pour chocolate on everything, or make a golden syrup/butter chocolate mix and cover the biscuity bits in this, and then top it with melted chocolate. But, lately, I’ve started making […]

I quite like Easter. I’m not even a little bit religious, so not in that sense. But I like the idea of welcoming Spring and celebrating new life and everything else that is lovely about this time of year. And the chocolate, of course. Even […]
