Rocky Road Brownies – Create Chocolately Goodness

Brownies make your whole house smell like delicious chocolate and they taste like wonderful goodnesss.  Basic brownies are awesome to have on hand.  Taking a brownie base and turning it in to Rocky Road Brownies is pretty simple and sure to impress your guests (or your own taste buds if you don’t have others to share with).

Does it get better than brownies plus marshmallows plus chocolate chips plus nuts?  Maybe…..if you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Rocky Road Brownies Ingredients:

• 1 box brownie mix.  The topping is going to be rich and gooey so I recommend some brownies that have that same consistency.
• Water, oil and egg as recommended by the brownie mix
• 1 – 1.5 cups of mini marshmallows
• 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ¾ cup chopped nuts (we chose peanuts and almonds but walnuts would also be good)

Directions:

1. Prepare brownies according to package (or make from scratch).  Feel free to add some of the chocolate chips to the mix if it doesn’t already have a filling of some sort.
2. Combine chocolate chips, nuts and dry marshmallows in a bowl.
3. When brownies are finished pull from oven.  IMMEDIATELY dump mix from the bowl onto the top of the still warm brownies.  Spread it out.  Allow the brownies to cool completely- as they do the chocolate and marshmallows will melt on the top.
4. Cut and serve!

If you don’t have time for the brownies to melt the topping you can just put the pan back in the warm oven (or very briefly on broil, which will give a golden brown color to your Rocky Road Brownies).  This will melt them but they won’t be as fluffy on the top as they are in the picture.  They still taste just as good though!
