Rocky Road Topping from The Australian Women's Weekly - Cupcakes
Makes enough for 12 cupcakes

200g red glace cherries, halved
100g marshmallows, chopped coarsely
25g flaked coconut (I used desiccated)
200g milk chocolate, melted

Working quickly smear some melted chocolate on the top of each cupcake and then place a chunk of rocky road on top (using the melted chocolate as glue). If desired top with more melted chocolate.
The ratings?
Me - 8/10, the rocky road is awesomely yummy and great for something different. The cake has a great flavour, but was a little dry.
Mat - 8.5/10, good flavour combo :)
