AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @p AD - Press Trip | I had such a great weekend at @pottersresortsfivelakes with @slwilson84. It was an action packed three nights with a full activity and entertainment programme, great food, lovely drinks and beautiful surroundings. 

The staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel at home and they ensure that everyone has the best time possible. I don’t think I stopped smiling all weekend.

The best thing about Potters holidays is that everything is included in the price you pay. Four meals a day, all your drinks - including wine, Prosecco, most spirits and soft drinks - great accommodation and so many activities. 

I’ll write a full review soon but for now here’s a little Reel of our weekend
I always have a lot of questions about accommodati I always have a lot of questions about accommodation when we stay anywhere as a family so I thought I’d share this little tour of our room at @windjammerlanding which was a pretty perfect place to stay.

It’s the ‘Ocean View Two Bedroom’ which was like a little house, with an upstairs and downstairs, built into the hillside. Both rooms had outdoor space and their own shower rooms. Such a great option for a family.
A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. A little photo dump from our holiday in St Lucia. We’ve been back a few days now but still miss the heat, the food, the pool, the constant sounds of wildlife and the lovely people. It was such a great holiday and I’m sure we’ll be back one day.
And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is And just like that, Athena is 12! What a joy it is watching her grow and what a wonderful young woman she is becoming. We could not be more proud. Love you Pickle, have a great birthday.
We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in S We’ve just got back from two glorious weeks in St Lucia staying at @windjammerlanding and it was just the holiday we needed. Two weeks of sunshine and relaxation in what must be one of the most beautiful islands in the world. 

We can’t wait to go back again in the future. Here’s just a little snippet of our trip.
AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @na AD - Press Tickets | We had such a nice day at @national_motor_museum despite the rain! The children loved the Little Beaulieu play area and we loved exploring the National Motor Museum and Top Gear exhibit before having a ride on the monorail! We went on an old open topped bus, explored the Beaulieu Manor House and loved the gardens. 
Beaulieu is always a great day out - whatever the weather. This summer they have a whole ‘Summer of Fun’ planned, with activities most days - parades, bird shows and hundreds of sculptures within the grounds too. If you’re looking for a day out this summer definitely think about heading to Beaulieu.
AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to t AD - Press Tickets | Tonight we took the kids to their first concert - but it was so much more than just a concert! @abbavoyage is incredible. With CGI ABBA and a live band, it’s like being at an ABBA concert 40 years ago but with modern lighting, effects and sound. ABBA look and sound real, it’s a mind blowing experience.
The set includes all the songs you know and love as well as a few less familiar ones.
You can’t take photos during the show which actually made a refreshing change. A whole arena focused purely on the show and soaking up the moment. It’s definitely something the four of us will always remember.
Now, I’m off to sing Dancing Queen all the way home.
AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdo AD - Press Trip | We had such a great day at @phdockyard today. They have a fantastic Ultimate Explorer ticket that lets you visit all the attractions as many times as you like for 12 months - and after a day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard we can see that you need more than one day to really do everything!

We explored HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose Exhibition - which is incredible! We also saw where ships are built and restored and spent time in Action Stations where the kids climbed and did an assault course.

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is such a fun, educational day out with something for all ages - we can’t wait to go on their harbour tours next time we visit!

Mince Pie Rocky Road Recipe

This post contains affiliate links and I may receive commission if you visit a link and buy something. Purchasing via an affiliate link doesn’t cost you any extra, and I only recommend products and services I trust.

If you have mince pies leftover from Christmas that you’re still trying to get through, why not make something with them instead? This Mince Pie Rocky Road couldn’t be easier to make and is delicious too!

I would eat mince pies all year round if I could but even I get to a point where I have simply had enough of them and fancy something a little different. This Mince Pie Rocky Road is perfect for times just like that – and a great way of using leftover mince pies.

Mince Pie Rocky Road

Mince Pie Rocky Road is a treat that children will love, is great for sharing and perfect to make for any gatherings before or after Christmas. Full of seasonal flavour, it’s something that any mince pie fan will really enjoy.

What mince pies do you use for this festive rocky road recipe?

For this easy Christmas rocky road recipe you can literally use any mince pies you have to hand. They can be the cheapest of mince pies as they are going to be broken into pieces anyway – they don’t have to be anything fancy or expensive.

Mince Pie Rocky Road

We also use shortbread for the biscuit part of this rocky road as we always have a lot of shortbread in the house over the festive period and it’s quite a nice festive treat to enjoy throughout December too. But you can use other biscuits if you prefer. Digestive biscuits make a good alternative and they’re what we use in other chocolate rocky road recipes throughout the year.

Other ways you can vary this recipe is to include dried cranberries or other dried fruit instead of the cherries and add anything else that works for the festive season. We love to add nuts sometimes to give an extra crunch. Macadamia nuts are a favourite!

Mince Pie Rocky Road

If you have any leftover rocky road it keeps well in an airtight container – and will definitely be eaten before it goes off! It’s also fantastic to give as gifts – just put in individual food gift bags tied with ribbon.

If you’re looking for other baking options to make why not try our easy chocolate biscuit recipe, easy mince pie recipe, gingerbread men recipe or our mincemeat pinwheels recipe? You can also see all our recipes to date here.

What equipment do you need to make Rocky Road?

Rocky Road doesn’t need anything special to make it, and you probably already have everything you need at home, but this is the equipment we use:

  • A large glass bowl
  • A saucepan
  • A wooden spoon
  • A spatula
  • A deep baking tray or baking tin
  • Baking paper sheets
  • Food scales
  • Good quality knives to cut the rocky road into pieces
  • Airtight containers for storage
  • Food gift bags to package it up and give as gifts

Once you’ve got everything you need to make the Rocky Road you can just keep making it again and again – in so many different flavours too!
