INTRODUCING Harry’s Mocha Rocky Road!

Introducing the latest addition to our range of flavours - Harry's Mocha Rocky Road.

 Harry's Mocha Rocky Road is a tempting mix of chewy Chocolate Jubes, Vanilla Marshmallows and crunchy Rice Crisps all coated in Milk Chocolate filled with ground Coffee Beans with Coffee Brown coloured White Chocolate Squiggles and Dark Chocolate Squiggles.

Four lucky Facebook Fans got to try our prototype of this flavour... Below is a sample of their feedback:

  • "Not too strong of a coffee taste, just the right balance."
  • "I was little worried when I saw it was mocha/coffee flavour as I'm not a coffee drinker! Pleasantly suprised that I not only liked the flavour, I actually really enjoyed it!"
  •  "Great flavour combinations, and the ground coffee adds an interesting texture."
  • "I have tried the fruit and nut and the peanut butter and the mocha was my favourite."

Make sure you try this one for yourself... If you have already tried it we would love to hear your thoughts!

Hello 2010!

A week of 2010 gone already! Oh my...

Our goal at the start of 2009 was to make it the year for "getting things done"... I reckon we did that.

On a personal note we built our first home, moved into our new home, survived our first year of marriage and welcomed Emily Grace into our family...

I wish I could say 2010 will be the year of "resting"... But early signs suggest it won't be...

  • Our new home will allow us to wholesale our product to stores around the country.
  • We will be visiting Farmer's Markets throughout Victoria.
  • We have some more fantastic new flavours to launch this year including Chilli-Cherry and Honeycomb.
  • We will be launching some fantastic new gifts as well as the return of our Easter Eggs (this year with 8 flavours instead of four)!
  • Our Sponsorship of the Nappy Hunt will continue with a bigger and better mini-hunt in March.
  • We hope to have a bigger involvement with the fantastic people at Connect 2 Mums.
  • Our Facebook Fan Page and our monthly newsletter will be home to some of our biggest competitions ever!

Thank you for your support in 2009! We are really looking forward to 2010!

Only 2 more sleeps until Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas from Harry's Rocky Road!

Christmas orders are now all finalised... YAY! Thank you to everyone who placed an order this Christmas! Everyone should receive them on time, even with the Posties on strike.

Time to start getting Christmas lunch organised - hosting this year - and then packing and moving... We should get the keys to our new house (building - first home buyers) on Christmas Eve - with custom built "Rocky Road Kitchen"! We've got a busy couple of weeks ahead...
