Annabelle Candy Company
Hayward, Ca

This is a spongy candy bar. Like trying to build a house on a marsh, building a candy bar on marshmallow shows questionable judgement. The cashews are little more than a fine particle sprinkle, and the chocolate is thin and treacherous. Really, there's nothing rocky about it.

It may be an old-tyme favorite, but we found it unsatisfying. It's just like eating a floppy marshmallow ingot sprayed with grainy chocolate. Had it presented as a novelty candy, like peeps, it might not have been so disappointing.
We've had Rocky Road ice cream, but the Rocky Road candy bar was new to us. Apparently it's actually a spin-off of the ice cream flavor, since Wikipedia traces Rocky Road ice cream back to the 1930s, and the Annabelle Candy Company was not founded until 1950.

While not bad, the Rocky Road is not a traditional candy bar, and is best reserved for the marshmallow hardcore.
