People have been enjoying this delicious combination for many years. There are varying accounts of the origin of this ice cream, as there often is with the creation of something new. Sometime during the late 1920s, William Dreyer used inspiration from his partner Joseph Edy's chocolate candy to make rocky road ice cream. Dryer did something he was probably told 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. Another who laid claim to the creation of rocky road ice cream was George Farren. He had simply blended a candy bar into chocolate ice cream creating the creamy dessert. Although rocky road began as a chocolate-and-nut confection, it has evolved into distinct regional styles. In the United Kingdom, "rocky road" is usually a no-bake traybake made from crushed biscuits, cocoa, golden syrup, and marshmallows, while in New Zealand and Australia, versions often include coconut or glacé cherries.
