Yes, it's officially fall now, but that doesn't mean icy treats are off the menu. For instance, when's the last time you turned down a chocolaty scoop of rocky road ice cream, packed with nuts and marshmallows? That's right: Never!

The appeal of rocky road is all in the contrasts: cool, creamy bittersweet chocolate ice cream mixed with gooey-sweet marshmallows and studded with chunky, salty nuts. Oh yes. The road to heaven is a rocky one indeed.

Don't just sit there drooling over this heavenly scoop: Make yourself some — stat! — with these recipes. This Rocky Road Ice Cream from Annie's Eats distinguishes itself by the addition of honey-roasted peanuts while Brown-Eyed Baker's recipe for Rocky Road Ice Cream calls for the more traditional walnuts. Which nut will you choose? We choose both!
