Description
Rocky Road is a unique flavor combination that originated in the late 1920s. It is credited to the partnership between Joseph Edy and William Dreyer, then owners of Edy's Grand ice cream (yes, this did also lead to the Dreyer's Grand ice cream brand). "Rocky Road" now shows up in a variety of sweets from ice cream to cakes to cookies. However, our favorite is no-bake confection that has everything - crunchy, chewy, salty, gooey, marshmallowy addictive! We have made a bit of a switch and changed out the traditional graham crackers for gluten free pretzels.
