When I was a kid, my favorite ice cream flavor was rocky road. If you have an ice cream maker, here’s a recipe for rocky road so you can make your own. I love that this is kind of a grown-up version of rocky road with almonds and sea salt. I know you will love this nutty, chocolatey, marshmallowy treat!
