Vegan Valentines Rocky Road - No Bake!

No time for baking? Have this dessert prepped in less than an hour for an easy no-bake chocolate treat for Valentines day!

Valentines Day will be a little different for us all this year - even the ones without partners - but it doesn't stop you making delicious treats to gobble up with your loved ones or even if you're alone this time of year, don't let it stop you feeding your soul of your favourite things! I love rocky road because of it's simplicity, there isn't the pressure of cooking and its really about throwing lots of yummy sugary things in a bowl, mixing with melted chocolate and chilling till you're ready to enjoy. And this Valentine's themed one is all things pink and pretty filled with delightful mini jammy dodgers (so cute!), marshmallows, dried strawberries and lots of sprinkles. And because I wanted more pink, as you do, I dyed some melted white chocolate with a little pink food colouring to give it that extra something :)

Method

1. Prepare a 21 cm baking tray and line with baking paper. 
2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in the microwave until just melted, don't overheat otherwise the chocolate will seize. Mix it together well.
3. In a large bowl, add the jammy dodgers, marshmallows and dried strawberries. Pour over the melted chocolate mixture and mix everything together to coat in the chocolate. 
4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and spread out evenly. Place into the fridge to set for a minimum of 1-2 hours.
5. When ready to serve, melt the white chocolate and then mix in the pink food colouring if using. Drizzle over the rocky road diagonally then before it sets, sprinkle on the sprinkles all over.
6. Use a sharp knife to cut the rocky road into 15 medium sized squares or cut smaller if serving more people. Best kept at room temperature in an airtight container. Enjoy!
