How to Make Perfect Rocky Road Brownies

Step 1: Make Brownie Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and cocoa powder until smooth. Whisk in sugar until fully incorporated. Next add the eggs and vanilla and whisk to incorporate everything. Stir in the flour just until it is combined.

Step 2: Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into a greased 9x13 baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake the brownies in a preheated 350° oven for 20-22 minutes. You do not want to fully bake the brownies, because they are going to bake for another 5 minutes after the toppings are added.

Step 3: Turn them into Rocky Road

Add the marshmallows in an even layer on top of the slightly under baked brownies, followed by a sprinkle of chocolate chips and peanuts.

Step 4: Finish the Brownies

Bake the brownies for another 5-7 minutes until the marshmallows are puffy and slightly golden brown.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Let the brownies cool awhile and then slice and serve.

Tips for Slicing Brownies

• Let the brownies cool almost completely.
• Use a plastic knife (Pampered Chef makes a good one) or a disposable plastic knife.
• No plastic knife? Use a metal knife sprayed with cooking spray or dipped in water and wipe off after each cut.
• Slice with one smooth cut, do not saw to cut the brownies.
