Low-syn Rocky Roads

 
 

Rocky Roads are a classic, and such a rich food is typically made with the high quantities of rich ingredients such as butter and sugar. Rocky Road bars from the local cafe can set you back up to 20 syns! However with a few smart swaps, this slimming world version of Rocky Roads will set you back a mere 4 syns a pop. Perfect on the go snack or to impress the pals at an afternoon tea at yours. :)
