How to Store Your Easter-Themed Homemade Rocky Road
Store homemade Rocky Road in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Keep it tightly sealed to prevent absorption of other food odors and maintain its texture.

What is the History of Rocky Road?
Rocky Road originated in Australia during the Great Depression of the 1920s.
Confectioners created the dessert using damaged or unsellable chocolate and locally available ingredients like nuts and marshmallows.
Miners and workers found the sweet treat affordable and filling.
The name "Rocky Road" referred to the rough economic landscape of the time, symbolizing a challenging journey.
By the 1930s, the recipe spread to the United States, where it became a popular ice cream flavor and candy, eventually evolving into various forms including the chocolate bar and dessert we know today.
