Mince pie and marzipan rocky road
Any nuts, nougat or biscuits can be used - Clara Molden

Rocky road is a brilliant way to reinvigorate those stocking-filler odds and ends. Mini mince pies are particularly good here due to the higher ratio of pastry to filling and their cute appearance, but any size of pie will work well. Try adding treats such as cubes of nougat, small chocolates, broken biscuits or ripple through some salted caramel sauce.

  2. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
