Rocky Road cookies

You know when you fancy a sweet treat, but don’t feel like changing out of your pyjamas and walking to the shop? You have an array of random ingredients in the cupboard left over for previous baking sessions, and decide to throw them all together to make something epic – a truly indulgent snack! These cookies are the embodiment of that – marshmallows, glace cherries and fudge pieces, mixed into a basic chocolate cookie dough – they can be adapted to whatever’s in the cupboard, and definitely satisfy that sweet craving!

You will need
200g dark chocolate
50g butter/margarine
397g tin of condensed milk
225g self raising flour
a tub of glace cherries
a bag of mini marshmallows
a bag of fudge pieces

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C and grease two large baking trays. Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals. Stir in the condensed milk, then gradually mix in the flour. Once combined, add the cherries, marshmallows and fudge pieces. Heap messy spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking trays, and bake in the oven for approximately 12 minutes, or until the cookies are beginning to harden on top. Remove from the trays and leave to cool on a wire-rack. Enjoy with a cup of tea, or a mug of hot chocolate.
