The term rocky road is used for a lot of different dishes that all have the same name. Most of these dishes contain similar ingredients, and they may well derive from the rocky road dessert which dates back to the 19th century.
This particular rocky road variant is, of course, ice cream. William Dreyer claimed to have invented the ice cream in 1929 California, when he chopped up walnuts and marshmallows and added them to chocolate ice cream.
Those three ingredients - ice cream, nuts and marshmallows - are the traditional ingredients for the ice cream, but there are, naturally, different variations of the dish that use other ingredients, either instead of or in addition to.
