Rocky Road is definitely one of my favorite flavor combinations bringing together chocolate, marshmallows and nuts, usually almonds. It can be found in candy bars, fudge, other desserts and especially ice cream! I am told that the ice cream was introduced as the Great Depression began and was a commentary on the rough days of the time. Perhaps appropriate we celebrate it today.

I am told by my editorial staff to lighten up. Chocolate. Almonds. Marshmallows. Light enough for you? Enjoy a taste today!
