Sam Altshuler, a Russian immigrant who arrived in the United States in 1917, founded the Annabelle Candy Company in 1950. He learned the art of candy making, and after years of perfecting his recipe, finally achieved success with his Rocky Road candy bar. He named his business the Annabelle Candy Company after his daughter, and began manufacturing Rocky Road in San Francisco. The product quickly gained popularity throughout the western United States where it has its strongest hold today, and is currently ranked highly among the top best selling chocolate bars on the West Coast. 

In 1972, the company purchased Golden Nugget Candy Company, of San Francisco, the makers of Big Hunk and Look candy bars, and began manufacturing those products. In 1978, Annabelle acquired of the Cardinet Candy Company which manufactured U-No and Abba Zaba candy bars.

What started as a family business continues today as the one of the largest independently owned candy bar manufacturers in the United States, producing some of the most popular and traditional West Coast items available on the market today. 

In case you are wondering about any connection to the ice cream called Rocky Road, there is none. Rocky Road ice cream was invented in 1929 by the Dreyer's Ice Cream Company. Almost all ice cream made at the time was either vanilla, chocolate or strawberry.

The ice cream company picked a flavor name to give folks something to smile about in the face of the Great Depression. Rocky Road became America's first blockbuster flavor and remains one of the best-selling flavors of all time.

Rocky Road memories... We moved from central Louisiana to Las Vegas, talk about a cultural shock!, during August of 1966. We were well aquatinted with the cultural candies of the south. However, in Las Vegas we discovered the one candy that combined all the cultural candies of the south. The rocky road bar has all the textures and flavoring of the well know southern regional candies and best of all, when it got up to 114 degrees, they are very easy to swallow! ~ Michael from Colorado

I'll always remember riding my bicycle to the local family owned corner store and getting my 16 oz bottle of RC Cola and my Rocky Road candy bar. The year was 1970, and I was 8 yrs old, living the ideal childhood in Southern California. I spent my days raising my pigeons and running barefoot. My mom would send me for milk and I would always anticipate getting a special treat for myself with the change. Now, at the age of 43, that is one of my fondest childhood memories. Thanks for the "sweet" memories! ~ John from Tennessee
