Family Favorites...Rocky Road Freeze

This is an ice cream recipe you can make successfully without an ice cream maker.  It’s not too sweet or chocolaty, but full of goodies.  When I tried this in my ice cream maker, I added ½ cup of milk to get a consistency that would work.  It was still delicious and creamy.  When my niece Amy made this in her ice cream maker she used half and half instead of the heavy cream to get the right consistency for an ice cream maker.  We both liked the combination of salted nuts with the sweet marshmallows and chocolate.
