Rocky Road is a muffin. It is also synonymous with the state of the last week, busy and demanding as it’s been with no respite over the weekend either. And in all honesty I did these muffins in a hurry. Still, they turned out brilliant and I’m really glad with the results… an absolute chocolate lover’s delight. These were super chocolate-y especially with the additional chocolate glaze and topped with cute pink and white marshmallows that I added.
I took out the muffins slightly earlier then the time mentioned which left them a little fudgy. This irresistible chocolate and marshmallow treat makes for an excellent addition to our holiday muffin series.
