Chocolate.com Celebrates National Rocky Road Day, June 3
Rocky Road – is that sweet and gooey melange of chocolate, marshmallow and nuts typically used as a flavor for ice cream, candy and cup cakes.
(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 3, 2009 -- According to culinary history, Rocky Road was conceived during the Great Depression, when William Dreyer cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his wife’s sewing scissors and added them to a bowl of chocolate ice cream. The name Rocky Road was coined to give folks a lift during those hard economic times. In North America, the classic Rocky Road is made with marshmallows, chocolate and almonds; In Australia they add jam, and in the United Kingdom they add cherries and raisins.
