Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield about 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup toasted, chopped pecans
1 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
8 full graham crackers (1 sleeve), broken into chunks
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows
3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
One 16-ounce jar marshmallow creme, such as Marshmallow Fluff

Steps:

  • For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
  • Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
  • When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
  • For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
  • Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

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

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don't overbake the marshmallows, or they will become tough.
  • Let the marshmallows cool completely before cutting them into bars.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the marshmallows by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the marshmallow floats, it is done.
  • You can add other ingredients to the marshmallows, such as nuts, dried fruit, or mint extract.
  • If you don't want to use sweetened condensed milk, you can use a mixture of sugar and water instead. Just dissolve 1 cup of sugar in 1/2 cup of water over medium heat.
  • Once the marshmallows are set, you can top them with a layer of chocolate ganache.

Conclusion:

Rocky road marshmallow bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover marshmallows and chocolate, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them classic or with a twist, these bars are sure to be a hit.
