in microwave.
- Place mashmallow, pineapple, coconut and biscuit

for 10 minutes or until just firm.
- Pour over milk chocolate, then top with remaining
marshmallow mixture. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until

Connie says:
"I followed the attached recipe but skipped a few
things that I didn't have. I wasn't measuring things exactly
either, as I figured it's not too important for a "rocky
road". You can mix pretty much anything you like.
My version had dark chocolate, white chocolate, sultana,
shredded coconut, salted roasted peanuts and marshmallow.
I added some hundreds and thousands on the top to make
it look funkier." |

"I just felt like every individual had a valuable
contribution. Literally everyone is committed and knowledgeable
in the group! I know that probably shouldn't surprise me, but I've
just never really been a part of a community before... I'd recommend
the hosting of an Open Garden Circle for others like us who want
to garden and are new to the area, because I met at least one swapper
who lives nearby so it's a chance to get to know like-minded close
neighbours!" - Lisa
"I've been looking for something like this
for a long time... people with the same interests. Other things
I try to join, people just seem to pass the time fighting with each
other." - Stephen
"It's about resilient neighbourhoods... And I've
met so many fabulous people." - Annie
"You always learn something new, share ideas."
- June
"It's so nice to just sit for a while and
chat, not to have to do anything." - Kim
"You never go home angry." - Len
