Although Rocky Road comes in many variations, traditionally, the ice cream includes chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows. Vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and almonds are among the many variations available today.

For many years, people have been enjoying this delectable dish. There are conflicting accounts of the origins of this ice cream, as there are often instances with the development of something new. William Dreyer made rocky road ice cream during the late 1920s, drawing on Joseph Edy's chocolate candy to make rocky road ice cream. The Dryer did something he was probably told hundreds of times not to do a hundred times not to do a hundred times not to do. He used his wife's sewing scissors to chop up marshmallows and walnuts and added them to chocolate ice cream and then added them to chocolate ice cream. Of course, it looked good, so she was certainly excused for using her good sewing shears for anything other than fabric!

George Farren was another one who contributed to the development of rocky road ice cream. To make the creamy dessert, He had simply converted a candy bar into chocolate ice cream.

During the Great Depression, the stock market plummeted, and the ice cream was given the name Rocky Road to bring smiles to faces.
