Easter egg rocky road
The kids are going to love getting their hands dirty with this no bake and oh-so-delicious rocky road courtesy of BBC Good Food. Start by melting some chocolate and leave it to cool. Then let the kids do what they do best – make noise and get messy as they bash biscuits and add handfuls of marshmallows, cranberries and Mini Eggs to the mix.
