sounds "interesting"
hetes what i found
Australia

The main ingredients in traditional Australian Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)
desiccated coconut
jelly
nuts, particularly peanuts
[edit]Nigella Express

The main ingredients in a Nigella Express Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
dark chocolate
mashed biscuits (Cookies)
icing sugar (for dusting)
[edit]United Kingdom

The main ingredients in traditional British Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
milk chocolate (sometimes dark or white chocolate is used)
cherries
raisins and sultanas
[edit]United States of America

The main ingredients in traditional American Rocky Road are:
marshmallow
milk chocolate
walnuts and/or almonds
Although slabs of Rocky Road can be found at confectioner's shops (as well as a somewhat popular candy bar from the Annabelle Candy Co. called Rocky Road that has marshmallow, a thin covering of chocolate and no nuts), the most popular version of Rocky Road in the U.S. is in ice cream form, which consists of chocolate ice cream, marshmallows (or sometimes a "marshmallow swirl"), and nuts.


to be honest out version sounds rubbish, the us version sounds good

Rocky road is an awesome flavor I reckon...
The only thing is that there has been some debate to ban it because the yellow color is artificial (don't know what it is called) and can be bad for your body. However there has not been any bans yet that I am aware of.

Just thought I'd share.
