Healthy rocky road slice

A healthy rocky road slice with all natural ingredients – only 110 calories per piece

Recently I made my healthy chocolate fudge slice (recipe here) and loved it.  And thought I could adapt it to make it more like a rocky road slice.  I got stuck into trying the recipe, and then realized that I didn’t have any marshmallows, or healthy alternative to marshmallows.  So it’s not a traditional rocky road alternative, but yummy nonetheless.  I’ve also used alternatives for the sweetener (honey instead of maple syrup), fat (butter instead of coconut oil, and peanut butter instead of almond butter).  But these are all pretty much interchangeable … feel free to experiment as you wish!

Again, all natural ingredients, but still watch the portion control.  They are very more-ish … you have been warned!
