Easy Rocky Road Brownies

Remember old-fashioned rocky road ice cream? Get that same delicious chocolate, marshmallow and peanut taste all on a rich, fudgy brownie.

Ingredients:

1 box/bag 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 have used 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.  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!
