This clean rocky road inspired cake was made for those nights where…

As most of you may know, the aim of My Clean Treats is to recreate my favourite desserts with healthy ingredients. It’s difficult when you crave something sweet and know it will do more bad than good for your body. Life is about enjoying – so why give up dessert?

Although I love traditional hot cross buns, to me (and my chocolate addiction), nothing beats when you warm up a chocolate hot cross bun and bite into the gooey centre, with melted chocolate drizzling down your fingertips. And that is why this year I have decided to give the healthy hot cross buns a go…
