Once the chocolate is at the right consistency - loose but not too runny - add the snakes and the marshmallows in small quantities at a time, to ensure that all ingredients are well mixed
Add 50% of the peppermint crisp to the mixture and continue to mix well

Sprinkle the remaining Peppermint Crisp evenly over the top of the Rocky Road mix

Notes
If you are allergic to nuts, use plain chocolate instead Peppermint crisp can make the Rocky Road difficult to handle so do not melt it with the other chocolate. Always add it separately and let the heat of the other chocolate melt it.
