Marshmallow’s are great served in hot
chocolates or coffee. They are a fun
afternoon treat for the kids and can be
used to make rocky road.

Rocky Road

For rocky road combine some mixed nuts,
and dried fruit and marshmallows. Mix
with melted chocolate and spread into a
greased and lined baking sheet. Set in the
fridge if it’s a hot day. Cut into slices and
serve.
