EDY'S® (Dreyer's) Celebrates Brand's Rich History with the Launch of the Rocky Road Collection - Spreading Joy to Families Nationwide

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- For nearly 100 years, families have included EDY'S® (Dreyer's) brand ice creams in their biggest and smallest moments. From backyard BBQs to birthdays to catching up with friends, their flavors bring people together. Now, with the start of the year, the brand is resolving to create more smiles in 2021 than ever before. EDY'S (Dreyer's) is reaching another milestone with the unveiling of the Rocky Road Collection, which features six decadent flavors loaded with delicious and indulgent mix-ins.

The newly unveiled collection is in tribute to the O.G. Rocky Road, which was created by founders William Dreyer and Joseph Edy. Changing the ice cream world as we know it, Rocky Road was one of the first ice cream flavors with mix-ins and is now a favorite of ice cream lovers everywhere. Drawing on their rich brand history – and knowing that classics are classic for a reason – the collection is inspired by the spirit of iconic flavors and nostalgic childhood recipes, amped up for today's families with a new twist of extreme indulgence.

"Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream was founded by William Dreyer and Joseph Edy in 1928 with the mission to spread smiles and provide delicious ice cream that the whole family could enjoy together," said Julianne Feder, Senior Associate Brand Manager at Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc., "and that mission remains the same, if not more relevant today. The new Rocky Road collection is designed to send ice cream lovers on a treasure hunt of indulgent mix-ins, full of flavor, decadence and texture. It's indulgence that the whole family can enjoy!"

With mix-ins like chunks of glorious cookie dough, handfuls of chocolate covered toffee and creamy spoonfuls of peanut butter, the collection offers a variety of flavors and textures for everyone. The six flavors being introduced as part of the Rocky Road Collection include: 

• The Original Rocky Road: Nothing beats The Original. Crunchy almonds and bite-size chewy marshmallows are folded into their classic chocolate ice cream for the perfect scoop every time. (1.5 quart; SRP: $5.99)
