Attention, sweet tooths: the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie, Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Mornington Peninsula Chocolaterie are bringing back the annual Rocky Road Festival this May.
It’s predicted that more than a whopping 100,000 handmade blocks will be churned out across the 31 days, using a base recipe that’s every rocky road lover’s match made in heaven: fluffy housemade marshmallow and smoother-than-satin couverture chocolate. You'll be able to sample something new, get your hands on a made-to-order one-kilogram block or try a kooky creation at one of the interactive tasting sessions.
How does a rocky road hot chocolate or ice cream sundae sound? There will also be a special limited-edition dessert menu inspired by the classic Aussie treat.
The European chocolatiers plan to rock your palate with 31 distinct festival flavours, including Dubai chocolate, Biscoff honeycomb, caramel Toblerone, mango chipotle, peanut butter pretzel and many more.
Those with the unfortunate dual diagnosis of an intolerance and a sweet tooth are in luck. Vegan and gluten-free creations will be available for tasting across the three chocolateries so nobody needs to miss out. Could it get any sweeter?
