Rocky Road Candy

Rocky Road Candy

Rocky road candy is a chocolate candy, which combines chocolate, marshmallow and nuts (usually almonds or English walnuts) United States. The flavor is claimed to have been created in 1929 by William Dreyer when he cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his wife's sewing scissors and added them to his chocolate ice cream during the Great Depression. The company claims it was then so named "to give folks something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression." Another host says the flavors were created by a Milton Ainbinder, while owning an ice cream toppings factory. [cite web| url = http://www.dreyersinc.com/about/WebHistory.pdf| title = Dreyer's History| accessmonthday=5 April |accessyear = 2006] Sam Altshuler, a Russian immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1917, founded Annabelle Candy Company, Incorporated, in 1950. Mr. Altshuler learned the art of candy making, and after struggling for years, finally achieved success with his Rocky Road candy bar. He named his business the “Annabelle Candy Company” after his daughter, and began manufacturing Rocky Road in San Francisco. The item quickly gained popularity throughout the western United States where it has its strongest hold today, and is currently ranked among the top 35-40 best selling chocolate bars on the West Coast.
