I looked up "avalanche bar" and one of the recipes was called "rocky mountain avalanche bar" & now I'm wondering if the name is a variation on "rocky road" to mean a mix of chocolate, marshmallows, & nuts ?
There is an entire field of study waiting to be made on the etymology of homemade snack names!
