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 recipe is part of The Country Cook’s Weekend Potluck!
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. 🙂
Thanks, Sue! It is sooo good and fast to make! You will not be sorry you made it :), even for breakfast!
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 …
Oh yes, joanneisco, yogurt is totally acceptable breakfast food in any form! 🙂
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 🙂
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!
… today I go grocery shopping. Tomorrow we have bark 🙂
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!
Jealous.
Enjoy!
Oh my goodness . . Y U M M Y :o)
Thanks, Dagmar – it is good… I hope you enjoy it!
I am making peach jam, pickled beets and eggs and now some bark. My day is all set, looks sooooo good.
Sounds like an excellent combination!
Amazing, unique recipe that’s easy to make!
Thanks, Laura! Yes, so easy to make and so satisfying… 🙂
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.
I am so glad it was a hit, Sue! I am making some this weekend too 🙂
What size baking sheet did you use?
Hi Danyalle- I use a 9X13 baking sheet.
i like this recipe!
Froyo bark??!! That’s just genius! I’m going to have to spend all summer making different variations now 😉
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!
