Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 36 to 48 bars

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts, pecans, or peanuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup toated walnuts, pecans, or peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
  • To make the first layer: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Off heat, add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, nuts, and baking powder and mix well. Press into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • To make the second layer: Place the cream cheese, sugar, flour, butter, egg, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitter with a paddle and mix until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the nuts, mix to combine, and spread over the first layer. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and transfer to the oven. Bake until slightly golden on the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the second layer with the marshmallows and return the pan to the oven until the marshmallows are just melted but not colored, about 3 minutes.
  • To make the frosting: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Add the cream cheese and milk and mix until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth. Immediately pour the frosting over the marshmallows and briefly swirl the two mixtures together. Cool in the pan and cut into 36 to 48 bars. Cover and refrigerate.

Yield Makes Pieces

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Grease a 20cm X 20cm tin/dish and line with baking parchment.
  • Place the white and dark chocolate, the condensed milk and the butter in an ovenproof bowl and place over a saucepan of shallow simmering water. Ensure that the bowl does not touch the water. When the ingredients have melted, stir to combine. Leave to cool for 10 mins.
  • Place the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate mixture and quickly stir to combine. Pour into the tin/dish and even out with the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for at least four hours.
  • When the rocky road slab has set, loosen the edges with a knife and turn out onto a board. Cut into 3-4cm squares and dust with sieved icing sugar.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crust tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Overbaking will make the bars dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Caramel rocky road bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a sweet snack. With their rich chocolate flavor, gooey caramel filling, and crunchy nuts, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give caramel rocky road bars a try. You won't be disappointed.
