Do you want a cold treat on a hot day that is easy, quick and as refreshing as ice cream, but with less guilt? Then this homemade chocolate frozen yogurt recipe is for you.

All you need is 5 minutes and 7 ingredients. This recipe is also weight watchers friendly at only 4 freestyle smart points per serving! When kids slam their fists on the table and start chanting, “We want more! We want more!” this can actually be a good thing. That is what happened when my little human guinea pigs tested this dessert recipe for me.
I must admit that this reaction was a little unexpected, given that my inspiration for this chocolate frozen yogurt recipe was a Weight Watchers recipe ( Chocolate yogurt recipe. ) However, I’m pretty sure the ‘rocky road’ part was the clincher !
Kids are very honest and that’s precisely why they make excellent recipe testers. If they don’t like it, they will tell you. On the other hand, most adults have well developed filters. This is why I always leave out a piece of paper for my recipe testers at work. That way, they can leave honest and anonymous feedback without the worry of hurting my feelings.
“Gross” isn’t necessarily a bad thing:
To date, not one of my colleagues has ever anonymously written “GROSS” on that piece of paper. Yet, most kids will tell you “it’s gross” right to your face. Well, mine will anyway. And they have.
Although gross doesn’t exactly help you to understand what you need to improve on, it is a pretty good indication that you have a lot of work to do OR it simply needs to be scrapped. I really do appreciate both types of feedback.
I never did get the chance to test this chocolate froyo bark recipe at work because the kids ate it ALL that night. They keep asking me to make it again- this is also a good thing!
So, if you’re looking for healthy, Weight Watchers friendly frozen treats with low Smart Points, this Chocolate Frozen yogurt with Rocky Road topping, is for you!
And if you love this, I’m sure you’ll also love my WW friendly Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwiches

Sue Slaght says
Oh my goodness. I haven’t had breakfast and all I want to do is make this right now. Five minutes? Who doesn’t have five minutes. 🙂
Food Meanderings says
Thanks, Sue! It is sooo good and fast to make! You will not be sorry you made it :), even for breakfast!
joannesisco says
Great. Just what I need … another vice. Like I don’t already have enough vices.
… but omg, this looks soooo good! It has yogurt in it, right? That’s breakfast food …
Food Meanderings says
Oh yes, joanneisco, yogurt is totally acceptable breakfast food in any form! 🙂
joannesisco says
IF I had any of those ingredients in my house, there would be a batch of that bark in the freezer right now.
… wait, I’m pretty sure I have some mini marshmallows … it’s a start 🙂
Food Meanderings says
You could always chop up the big marshmallows – I have done it in desperation! The butterscotch chips really make all the difference, but I’m sure toffee bits would also work in a pinch!
joannesisco says
… today I go grocery shopping. Tomorrow we have bark 🙂
Food Meanderings says
After all this talk of it, I went down to the freezer and sneaked a piece last night – I couldn’t resist! So glad I still had some!
joannesisco says
Jealous.
Food Meanderings says
Enjoy!
Dagmar Chan says
Oh my goodness . . Y U M M Y :o)
Food Meanderings says
Thanks, Dagmar – it is good… I hope you enjoy it!
shelley says
I am making peach jam, pickled beets and eggs and now some bark. My day is all set, looks sooooo good.
Food Meanderings says
Sounds like an excellent combination!
Laura Lovett says
Amazing, unique recipe that’s easy to make!
Terri Gilson says
Thanks, Laura! Yes, so easy to make and so satisfying… 🙂
Sue Slaght says
Terri I tried this on the weekend and it was a huge hit! I loved that I was serving something a dessert that wasn’t loaded with sugar. So easy to make as well. My kind of recipe.
Terri Gilson says
I am so glad it was a hit, Sue! I am making some this weekend too 🙂
Danyalle says
What size baking sheet did you use?
Terri Gilson says
Hi Danyalle- I use a 9X13 baking sheet.
Terri Gilson says
i like this recipe!
Anna Pry says
Froyo bark??!! That’s just genius! I’m going to have to spend all summer making different variations now 😉
Terri Gilson says
Hi Anna: Thanks! Yes, I love this stuff and always make at least a double batch! If you have yogurt close to the expiry date, that you can’t possibly eat, it’s also a great way to use it up – that’s just what I did the other day! 🙂 Enjoy!
