Rocky Road Nutty Iftar Treats

The rocky-road treat we made in Ramadan has more substance than finger-food. Strictly for grown-ups.

My eco-sister Salsabeel loves miniature things. Even when it comes to food, she makes petite portions, little fruit kebabs and penny-sized cookies. These portions are perfect for children and when you have guests for iftar.
