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

This 5 minute Rocky Road Froyo bark is a cold chocolate frozen yogurt treat on a hot day that is easy, quick and as refreshing as ice cream, but with less guilt! It is 4 Weight Watcher Smart Points!
Servings 10 servings
Calories 85kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups low-fat or no fat Greek yogurt (I use Astro)

- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips
- ⅓ cup mini marshmallows
- 1 waffle cone , broken into small pieces
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet (9"X13") with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix yogurt, cocoa powder and agave syrup in a bowl until combined. Pour onto prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin layer.(about ¼ - ½ inch thick).Bang baking sheet a couple of times on the counter to remove air bubbles and distribute evenly.
- Spread remaining ingredients evenly over yogurt base.
- Place in the freezer for 2-4 hours, or overnight, until the bark is fully frozen. Break apart or slice into desired squares.
- Serve immediately (on a square pieces of parchment or wax paper to avoid sticky fingers) and keep stored in the freezer in an airtight container or bag.

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
Thanks, Sue! It is sooo good and fast to make! You will not be sorry you made it :), even for breakfast!
joannesisco
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
Oh yes, joanneisco, yogurt is totally acceptable breakfast food in any form! 🙂
joannesisco
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
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
... today I go grocery shopping. Tomorrow we have bark 🙂
Food Meanderings
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
Jealous.

Enjoy!

Terri Gilson
Thanks, Laura! Yes, so easy to make and so satisfying... 🙂
Sue Slaght
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
I am so glad it was a hit, Sue! I am making some this weekend too 🙂
Danyalle
What size baking sheet did you use?
Terri Gilson
Hi Danyalle- I use a 9X13 baking sheet.
Terri Gilson
i like this recipe!
Anna Pry
Froyo bark??!! That's just genius! I'm going to have to spend all summer making different variations now 😉
Terri Gilson
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!
