Rocky Road

Rocky road is a dessert which is generally made up of chocolate, marshmallows, jelly, nuts, turkish delight and desiccated coconut. It was invented in Australia during the gold rush and the name was derived from the rocky road that travellers had to take to get to the gold fields at the time.

Rocky road is a popular home made dessert as it can be easily prepared and does not specifically need all of the above mentioned ingredients. While still available, traditional rocky road in America is in ice-cream form and contains many of the same ingredients as the original.
