ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES RECIPE



Rocky Road Brownies Recipe image

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine (you can use butter, but they don't turn out quite as fudgy), melted
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup nuts (optional)
pinch of salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts, but any nuts will do)
1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Spray a 9x13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Stir cocoa and melted margarine together in a bowl.
  • Add sugar and eggs and mix well.
  • Add vanilla, flour, nuts and salt. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Remove brownies from oven and top with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and chopped nuts.
  • Place back in the oven for about 3 minutes, or until the marshmallows double in size. Remove from oven and let cool. Top with chocolate drizzle (completely optional) and serve.
  • Mix all ingredients together. If it's too thick, add a little milk to thin it. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into bars.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
