The Rocky Road Collection from EDY'S (Dreyer's) pays tribute to the original Rocky Road ice cream and it puts a fresh new spin on nostalgic childhood favorites. The new ice cream collection celebrates Rocky Road as one of the first ice cream flavors with mix-ins and the collection runs with the idea for six decadent flavors with equally as decadent ingredient infusions.
Alongside The Original Rocky Road, chocolate-flavored ice cream lovers will find indulgent treats like Mocha Almond Avenue, which uplevels coffee ice cream with swirls of fudge and crunchy almonds. There are also a few brand-new creations like Salted Caramel Pretzel Path, Brownie Brick Road and Cookie Cobblestone, all of which feature playful names that riff on the original inspiration.
