Instructions

PREP INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Spray an 8×8 baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment on all sides. DON'T SKIP THIS STEP OR MARSHMALLOWS WILL STICK TO PAN. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Chop the ½ cup of BROWNIE nuts into small pieces and set aside.
  • Chop the ½ cup of TOPPING nuts into large pieces and set aside.

BAKING INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until completely blended.
  • Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla extract until all ingredients are combined. The mixture should be thick and bright yellow. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Sift dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in small amounts, gently stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula between additions until all ingredients are completely combined.
  • Fold the ½ cup of BROWNIE mini marshmallows and the ½ cup of BROWNIE chopped nuts into the brownie batter using a few swift strokes.
  • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake at 350F for 30 minutes, until brownies are almost done.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle the ½ cup of TOPPING chopped nuts, ½ cup of TOPPING mini marshmallows, and the chocolate chips over the top of the brownies.
  • Return brownies to oven and bake for 3-5 more minutes, until the marshmallow topping is poofed and lightly brown. Watch it carefully – don’t let it burn!
  • Remove Rocky Road Brownies from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
