This gorgeous, easy to make Rocky Road Wreath is a great centrepiece for a Christmas table this festive season.
Rocky Road Wreath
This delicious chocolate wreath is a fun Christmas spin on the traditional rocky road. I have also made rocky road trees which made a lovely centrepiece as well.
For rocky road, you can use a variety of different mixtures. Marshmallows, whether the mini ones, or if using the large ones, cut with a pair of scissors into smaller pieces. We love rocky road with jelly lollies, clinkers, and a handful of nuts. I prefer to use milk chocolate, though you could use dark or a mixture of both dark and milk chocolate.
Rocky Road Variations
Rocky road can be made with a variety of different ingredients. Choose the ingredients that you enjoy the most, to create a delectable rocky road wreath. Some variations we enjoy are:
- walnuts
- pistachios
- coconut
- glace cherries
- shortbread, chopped

- sultanas
- mint chocolate pieces
- Tim Tams, broken up
- macadamia nuts
- Turkish delights

Making the Wreath Shape
To make the wreath shape, grease a large Savarin Mould or ring cake pan.
Spoon the rocky road mixture into the mould, making the wreath shape.
Place the pan in the fridge until the chocolate is set.
Once set, remove from the mould by turning upside down and taping gently.
Decorate how you wish – melt some white chocolate to drizzle over the wrath, using some fo stick the other decorations to the wreath.
Let it sit for 5 minutes to set before cutting. Or, store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Store the pieces in an airtight container.

Thanks for the chance to enter! Where would I spend it? Oh that is hard, probably Christianbooks or barnes and noble.
Also looking forward to trying the rocky road wreath though I can’t wait till Christmas, it looks too good to wait!
I would use the giftcard to help get my kids some much needed clothes. Its been a hard year and they are growing so fast and in need of some clothes that fit or are not full of holes.
Thanks for this amazing giveaway. Would love an Amazon gift card or really anywhere I could get my kids new bikes from. Wishing you very happy holidays this year.
This looks so good! I am definitely adding it to my holiday treat repertoire! Thanks!
I would be spending some of it probably at Amazon.com because I have a Christmas wish list for the children their. I also would like to be able to use some towards books, because they have a wish list of books they have been wanting.

Thanks for the giveaway! I’d love to use the gift card towards a nugget couch, but in the end I bet I’d use it on Amazon or Target
Sounds good to me, 🙂

Thank you for the giveaway! I will use it Amazon, Walmart, Target the possibilities are endless! With 5 boys I will enjoy it in any way possible! 🙂 Also, I do not have an “instagram or facebook” account so here’s praying for a miracle! 😉
I’d love to put it toward oil for heat. I’d probably ask for just a Visa type one so I could use it with our local oil company.
I would most likely spend my gift card on my child and husband for their Christmas gifts!
First, I would probably ask for a Visa, if I could. I would use it for Amazon (of course) and gas, groceries, and other things I need. This is so helpful, especially at this time. Thank you and God bless everyone!
Thank you for this chance to win a gift card! It would be such a blessing!
Currently trying to open a nonprofit Montessori school for BIPOC and would use it for materials! Possibly Amazon/Hobby Lobby/Michaels.
This would be a wonderful blessing to us this Christmas. My husband and I are Disabled Veterans and our pensions don’t bring a lot in. We pay bills and buy groceries most months although I try to save a little here and a little there during the year but then sometimes things must be bought that were not expected. Like a metal roof and windows for our house
Thanks for the opportunity to win some money for Christmas. I would like a Visa card so I could use it locally or an Amazon card.
I would get a Walmart gift card and spend it at Sam’s club!
I would probably use it at Wal-mart or Amazon.
