Serving Suggestions

Maltesers Rocky Road is delightful on its own, but you can elevate the experience by serving it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. The cold creaminess pairs beautifully with the rich chocolate and adds an extra layer of indulgence to each bite.

For an added touch of elegance, consider drizzling melted chocolate or caramel over the top before serving. This not only enhances the flavors but also makes for a stunning presentation that’s sure to impress your guests.
