Description

Explore the Christmas story whilst making Rocky Road. Thanks to https://www.sunhatsandwellieboots.com/2020/12/rocky-road-to-bethlehem-tell-christmas.html

Resources

2 x 200g chocolate bar (milk or dark chocolate)

1 cup of mini white marshmallows

1 cup of shredded wheat (broken up)

2 x Mars Bars - sliced into chunks

2 x Milky Way chocolate bar - sliced into chunks

1 cup of raisins/sultanas

1 box of Maltesers

1 large bag of Haribo sweets - you'll need the rings & the hearts

Edible gold spray

Cake tin. We used a silicone pan (20cm x 20cm) which was easier to remove the Rocky Road. If you're using a metal pan line it with baking paper first to prevent it sticking.

Top Tip: Make sure all your ingredients are measured out ready to use before you begin baking as the chocolate will set quickly once melted.

Instructions

Method:

:: Melt your 2 chocolate bars in a large bowl. Use either a bain-marie, or short blasts in a microwave, then allow to cool slightly. The melted chocolate represents the earth in darkness waiting for Jesus The Light of the World.

:: Add the Haribo rings - these represent Mary & Joseph, the engaged couple setting out on their journey from Nazareth.

:: Pour in the Maltesers & gently stir - the honeycomb represents the sandy rocky path that Mary & joseph had to travel to Bethlehem. Did you know Nazareth is 90 miles from Bethlehem?

:: Pour in the raisins & gently mix in - Mary & Joseph travelled with a donkey & the raisins represent donkey poo (of course!)

:: Sprinkle over the shredded wheat but don't stir it yet - this is the straw of the stable, the only place available to Mary & Joseph after their long journey.

:: Sprinkle over the Haribo hearts, but don't stir yet - these represent Jesus & the love & hope he brings

:: Pour in the marshmallows & gently stir the mixture - the Shepherds were the first to visit baby Jesus & the marshmallows represent their sheep

:: Add the chunks of Milky Way & stir in gently - this represents the star that shone over Bethlehem. Did you know the Milky Way is made up of approximately 100 billion stars? The Bethlehem Star must've been one special star!

:: Add the Mars Bar chunks & stir for the final time - Mars Bars are made up of 3 layers making them ideal to represent the 3 Wise Men & their 3 gifts.

:: Pour the mixture into the cake tin. Then spray over a little of the edible gold - this represents the angels that filled the sky rejoicing in the birth of a new born king - Jesus!
