Treat your friends and family this Easter with a batch of this scrumptious Healthy Rocky Road. These are a totally nutritious alternative to a standard rocky road and are so tasty that you won’t even know the difference. I’ve been wanting to play around with cacao paste for quite some time and what better occasion to give it a whirl than Easter!
