What is rocky road?

Rocky Road is a classic American dessert that has been around for over a century. It's a simple yet delicious treat that's made up of a combination of chocolate, marshmallows, lollies and nuts. The exact origin of the dessert is unclear, but it's believed to have been created during the Great Depression when ingredients were scarce, and people had to make do with what they had.
The name "rocky road" is said to have originated from the rough and bumpy texture of the dessert, which resembles a rocky road. Over the years, the recipe has evolved, and there are now many variations of the classic recipe that include different types of chocolate, nuts, and even dried fruit.
