Healthy Rocky Road

As a chocolate lover, there’s no way I wasn’t going to create a healthy version of the popular sweet - rocky road. This one is full of the good stuff, low in sugar and has some great nutritional benefits. Hello increased mood from the cacao, zinc from the pepitas and antioxidants from the goji berries (just to name a few).

The a great treat to have on hand for a chocolate hit or the perfect dish to make and take along to a party, this rocky road has you covered. The colours also make it a really pretty dessert and you’ll impress your friends with how good it looks and tastes.
