Okay so apologies in advance, there is a total lack of photos for this recipe - but it couldn't be helped! For one thing it was a very gray day so the lighting was not so good. Then Zoe didn't exactly want me to do any baking (picture tears, tantrums and a whole lot of carry on), so it was all very rushed. But hey I made it and it is delicious! Sweet white chocolate, chewy marshmallows, tasty almond nougat and crunchy almonds = awesome!This is another treat that would be perfect to package up and give as a gift at Christmas time (or any time really). It will keep for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
So you know what to do, get in the kitchen and get baking :)
White Rocky Road (from Better Homes and Gardens - December 2007)
Makes about 20 pieces
2/3 cup slivered almonds

I was thinking about doing that for a couple of christmas recipes as I basically don't have time to photograph all the steps & I have been doing late night baking.
Looking at yours, I think it looks good, pfttt, I'll ditch a few photo sessions aswell :)
Lucky you only have Zoe to cause you disruptions..I have the two & a terible 2's tantrums happening here all of a sudden.
I've heard of rocky road but not of white rocky road...!
Oooh, lovely! Looks amazing!!

I absolutely love rocky roads! I have never had a white chocolate one though, great gift for Christmas!
Alicia, it looks like something my one twin would love but what's almond nougat? Sorry if that's a dumb question! :)

Looks delicious! I have never heard white rocky road, but it sounds awesome!
They look so good, and I know someone who loves rocky road more than anything else so I think I will have to get baking!
Ingrid - Almond nougat is a type of candy - I just purchase mine but you can make it home (of course), you just need a candy thermometer.
yum, I am an old softie for rockie road.
Looks absolutely divine, Miss Alicia! You are amazing.
By the way, I wrote a blog post about your amazingness!

I've been having a terrible time with my photos lately - bad lighting/too overcast/too grey/too wet. URGH.
But in saying that, love your picture. Not a big white chocolate fan but that line up had me wanting to reach in and grab a square!
YUM. I adore coconut and white choco. Killer combo!
I am a huge fan of this recipe, it's perfect for those people who aren't too fond of cherries!
Mmmm white chocolate, I love it so, even though I shouldn't!
Sorry the weather and Zoe weren't cooperating! The pics you got are great. I love that you're sharing all these treats I've never heard of. Keep 'em comin, Alicia!
