Rocky Road Bars
Rocky Road Bars! These are rich and decadent and full of yummy goodness. You’ll want to give your diet a break too…
It’s the beginning of the year; which means I’ve resolved to lose weight, just like I do EVERY NEW year.
It’s hard though, because my older kids love to make treats, and I love that they want to spend time with me so here we are…
On an unrelated note, I know we could make healthy snacks, but where’s the fun in that?
Rocky Road Bars (makes large 9 bars)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 cup chocolate chips, semisweet
DIRECTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Line with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; spray the paper with more cooking spray.
-
Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan and add cocoa. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat; stir in sugar, beaten egg, flour, milk, and almond extract until combined. Gently fold in 1/2 of your mini marshmallows, almonds, and chocolate chips.
-
Pour evenly into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven; sprinkle remaining marshmallows, almonds, and chocolate chips on the top. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool, then refrigerate for about 1 hour. Lift bars from pan using the overhang; cut into 12 bars. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Thanks for sharing on Wake Up Wed. I think my mother-in-law is going to love these along with my GS troop they will do anything for Rocky Road desserts.

These look AMAZING … and totally worth skipping the healthy treats for. I mean, it's still sweatshirt season anyway ;]
