June 2nd was National Rocky Road Day #RockyRoadDay not the Steet but the Ice Cream. Rocky Road Ice Cream is Marshmallow swirled through rich Chocolate Almonds and it has Coca in it. As much as I love Chocolate and Almonds I’ve never tried Rocky Road Ice Cream because I don’t like #Marshmellows. I don’t think Charlie has had Rocky Road Ice Cream either.
Before you ask me what about David. David I don’t know if David has had Rocky Road Ice Cream or not. My question for you is have you had #RockyRoadIceCream? If so what did you like or dislike about the Ice Cream and why?
Why not surprise your family this evening and make Homemade Rocky Road Ice Cream for dessert. I would make Rocky Road Ice Cream for David but the #Almonds would hurt his teeth. I wonder if I could leave the Almonds out. I could put them in the Chocolate Ice Cream before adding #Marshmellows for myself and save plain Chocolate Ice Cream for Charlie.
