Today is National Rocky Road Day! Rocky road
ice cream is a delicious dessert with an interesting culinary history. In 1929
after the stock market crash, a man named William Dreyer (the founder of Dreyer
Ice Cream) calmed his Black Thursday nerves by creating the original rocky
road. He mixed chunky almonds, mini marshmallows, and delicious milk chocolate
ice cream to create a new ice cream flavor that would make people smile despite
the tough economic times. It instantly became an American favorite and soon
became popular all over the world. (Source: Punchbowl)
