Do you have sugar-free baking chocolate, odds and ends of nuts, low carb/keto cookies, and shredded coconut around to use up? I did, and this was my first attempt at making this LCHF treat.
ROCKY ROAD CHOCOLATE SQUARES
Ingredients
1. 2 chocolate bars, dark unsweetened
2. 1 cup chocolate chips
3. 1 stick salted butter (½ cup)
4. ¾ cup keto cookies, broken up
This is wonderful as an appetiser to start a special meal or as a main dish served with green veggies or a salad. We had it as our Christmas eve dinner starter.
If you’re making this for a dinner party I suggest you make the pastry and filling a day ahead to assemble and bake on the day.

Ingredients
I’m not a fan of glacé fruit of *any* kind and I dislike traditional compressed glacé Christmas fruit cake intensely. It’s the worst! Sticky sickly sweet, weird texture, the glacé fruit has no resemblance of fruit flavour whatsoever, and yucky to eat … and barely a trace of cake. I fall firmly into the non- fruitcake group.
But. I’ve been baking this LCHF cake for Xmas for a few years now. It’s based on a friend of my parents, Kathy, who lives in South Africa. I wrote her recipe up in 1987(!) and have used it as a base since then. It’s evolved into a more keto friendly cake, still a tad high in carbs if you’re on serious keto, but fine for an annual holiday treat. I never ever made the icing though! Not a fan.
