Rocky Road Ice Cream, is a chocolate flavored ice cream and although there are variations on this flavor it is traditionally composed of chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows. According to one source, Rocky Road was invented by William Dreyer in March of 1929 in Oakland, CA where he cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his wife's sewing scissors and added them to chocolate ice cream much like the manner that reflected his partner, Joseph Edy's chocolate candy creation involving walnuts and marshmallows. Later, walnuts were changed to almond pieces after the great wall street crash of 1929. Dreyer and Edy gave the current name to "give something people to smile about during the great depression".
I think Rocky Road is an ice cream enjoyed by all and I don't think there is anything better than homemade ice cream. I have included a delicious recipe that I found for you guys to try. I think this is one of my favorite National Food Holidays!
