There are no artificial colours or flavours and it’s a hefty 600 grams in size, perfect for the whole family to enjoy. 

‘We know our customers look forward to the limited edition mud cake flavours we sell every year and this time, we wanted to create something exciting that combines our popular mud cake with a much loved Aussie treat,’ Woolworths Category Manager for Bakery Chris Chase said.

‘The result is a decadent mud cake that has sentimental meaning to Australian households with the scent of raspberry and coconut topped with marshmallows combined with the rich, chocolate flavour reminding customers of a decadent rocky road dessert.’

Traditionally a rocky road chocolate has layers of milk or dark chocolate filled with marshmallows, sweet lollies and sometimes even nuts for a sweet and savoury combination.
