  • The boxes of Dr Oetker no cook Rocky Road mixes are absolutely delicious - they are like chocolate rice crispy cakes - no cooking required - just melt the chocolate buttons in a bowl in a microwave with some butter (not included) then you add all the ingredients (sultanas, biscuit crumb and min mallows provided and drop onto greaseproof paper and put in fridge to harden - absolutely delicious - 99p usually £1.99
