Rocky Road fail!

(I know this is totally gross, but it gave me the first really good laugh I've had in ages and for who knows what reason, I wanted to share it!  I'm so annoyed that I wasn't able to get it done tonight that if I don't laugh about it, I would probably be a sobbing mess on the floor!!!  Probably a 'had to be there'  kinda thing but I'm going to post it anyway! And yes...  I have a very strange sense of humour!)

On Wednesday, I made this Rocky Road as a trail run for Mackenna's party on Sunday....  yum, right?!  And trust me, it tastes as good as it looks!!!  I am pretty proud of my effort!!

So I went to make 'the batch' tonight, but I had to go down to Woolies and get some more chocolate.  I didn't make it there before they closed, so I headed to Night Owl.   They only had Nestle Melts and even though I'm a 'Cadbury's all the way' girl (if I'm going to do it, then I'm going to do it right!) I handed over $6.50 for a bag, because I really wanted to get it done tonight.

Came home and got this ready:

Get the water boiling, put the chocolate in the bowl and pretty much immediately, I know this is not going to do what it's suppose to.

This is what happens when you buy a bag of chocolate that's probably been sitting on the shelf in Night Owl for the past 2 years!  Definitely won't do that again (and I'll be sticking with the Cadbury's!)

And then (we'll call this one No. 2 Fail) I tried to dispose of the now almost completely hard lump of chocolate down the sink.  This is the what I ended up with

Gotta love failing BIG TIME and being able to stand there and just laugh, really loudly at yourself!  If I didn't know it was chocolate, I seriously would have hurled! (And I have 2 kids in nappies, so normally this kind of thing really doesn't phase me at all, but this was just WRONG!!)

Hope you weren't eating :P
