ROCKY ROAD PUDDING

Here in Oz it can get very hot for Christmas so as a change we made this for our Christmas this year instead of the usual pudding. Everyone loved it. DD made this and it was so easy. She used chocolate ripple biscuits and frozen mixed berries, but have listed the original recipe from Food Ideas. Also shopping late as usual we couldn't buy silver cachous, so used Rainbow cho chips, which looked really pretty!
