Hospice Recipe: Rocky Road
At Claire House, there’s always a sweet treat that brings people together, and our rocky road is a clear favourite. For the families we support, it’s often the little things that mean the most - a quiet five minutes, a warm drink, and something indulgent to enjoy alongside it.
Made in our hospice kitchen, this chocolatey classic is loved by families and staff alike. Children, like happy Joshua pictured above, often get stuck in too, helping to mix and stir!
These no-bake squares are a simple way to add a moment of joy to the day. We’re sharing our recipe so you can create your own at home and enjoy a little piece of Claire House wherever you are.
