It's time for June's Taste Creations and we are featuring recipes with that delicious combination of marshmallow, nuts, and chocolate lovingly known as Rocky Road.
According to Wikipedia, the flavor was invented in 1929 when William Dreyer (of ice cream fame) cut up marshmallows using his wife's favorite scissors and added them to an ice cream base of chocolate and walnuts. A chemical engineer for the ice cream company figured out a way to blend the ingredients so that the pieces remained mixed instead of sinking to the bottom.
My Rocky Road No Bakes pay homage to the original flavors of walnut, chocolate, and marshmallow, but I have put them together in a brownie/fudge-like dish that does not require any kind of baking. It is delicious and decadent, so a little goes a long way!
My Taste Creation friends have created other wonderful dishes this month, too. Let's check them out:

ReplyDeleteTrying this recipe out. My last try had the nuts overwhelming the chocolate. So I am definitely trying this
