Dear Rocky Road,
I’m sorry you were never my favorite ice cream. I put tin roof sundae, peanut butter cup, cookie dough and cookies & cream first. With your timeless combination of chocolate, marshmallow and nuts you deserved more attention. And love.
I was too blind to see how your old-fashioned charms make everyone happy. All the time. You have the sweet chocolate everyone craves. The crunchy nuts and those chewy, soft and sticky marshmallows everyone loves. A combination that’s hard to beat. So gooey and decadent. Everything I could ever want in a dessert.
When you blanket a rich and fudgy brownie like this no one can resist. Least of all, me. It only took one bite to see how wrong I have been. Now I see why you’re a classic that never, ever goes out of style. Foolish me. I’ll never ignore you again. I promise. I hope you can forgive me.
Forever yours,
Reeni
Fudge brownies with a gooey marshmallow, walnut and chocolate chip topping.
INGREDIENTS:
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8x8" baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter paper.
- Melt butter and 1 cup of the chocolate chips together in a double boiler or in the microwave on the chocolate setting.
- Stir in sugars and salt, then eggs, then the flour, stirring just until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle tops with remaining chocolate chips, then marshmallows and nuts. Bake until chocolate is shiny and marshmallows are puffed, about 5 minutes.
- Cool completely in pan. Refrigerate 1/2-1 hour for easier cutting. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies onto a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares with a large knife, wiping clean after each cut.

Cant go wrong with this yummy combo
Hubba hubba that looks great! Although I have to say tin roof sundae would make me stray in a weak moment. I’m an ice cream polygamist!
So tempting! Yum! Funny you say that about the ice cream…when my daughter was little we fed her a spoonful of rocky road ice cream and she gaged on it…it was the marshmallows…she had a texture issue. She now will eat somores and she loves brownies so I am sure she will love these.
Oh my! I can see why you love these. They are what every chewy cookie should be. Looks amazing!
This looks rich and delicious Reeni. Blessings my dear, Catherine xoxo
Holy smokes! You just might be an evil temptress. These look heavenly. Seriously, mouthwatering and delicious. I came to comment on the delicious sounding soup, buy WOW. These have distracted the heck out of me. Mmmmm, rocky road….
I once had this in Aussie and love it to bits ! But I can never make the same kind when I came back. Yours look absolutely fabulous.
You know that this sweet-chocolaty tower really rocks! I bet you made these spectacular brownies only for me, right Reeni???
Cheers,
Gera
Rocky road has never been a favorite of mine, but I have to say that these look super fudgy and the marshmallows, chips and nuts make such great toppers. Yum!
How can anyone not love these, they look so scrumptious!
I am a fan of Rocky Road ice cream. So bring these brownies over! They’re a party all on their own!
Oh my goodness, Reeni! I could just sink my teeth into these through looking at your photos! These brownies look so mouthwatering. Great job on them. I just might have to make them for myself… and only myself!
Beautiful!! I agree it was never my favorite ice cream either, but those brownies look amazing!
i love brownies and these brownies look absolutely amazing – so full of yummy things like marshmallows and nuts!
Oh. My. God. Reeni these are AMAZING!!! Why did I neglect rocky road so much? I’d take a huge stack of these over cookies n cream ice cream any day.
You’re not alone, I have never made these although they seem to be a staple on nearly everyone elses blog or cookbook! You’ve convinced me to give them a try 😉
I don’t know Rocky Road but these brownies are definitely my kind of sweet! How can I say no to such a sweet sin?
Ok, I’m keeping this recipe for one of those rare moments when I’m in the house alone – so I can eat them all – I’m sorry – but that’s just how amazing these brownies sound!

OMG! These Rocky Road Brownies look amazing… can’t wait to make these. Great photos, too!
You’re killing me!
I’m typically not a fan of nuts in my ice cream so rocky road always got pushed to the wayside! In brownie form…I just wouldn’t be able to ignore it. These look SO FUDGY DELICIOUS.
Yum yum! Those look good. I’ve had bad luck with both homemade brownie recipes and marshmallows baked on brownies (they melted together and formed a solid hard mass of sadness), but yours look great 😀
I’m drooling just reading the description of these brownies. Gorgeous!!! I’d take a piece immediately. Bye, have a good day
Wow, looks so sinfully delish! YUMMY!!
I’ve actually never made brownie before! But this just looks so decadent! Mmmmmm!!! I can almost lick the screen!
That’s so funny what you said because I’ve always felt the same way about Rocky Road ice cream! I just don’t like it yet I love all the components and by looking at these brownies I am pretty sure I’d love them too!
Moon, you’re always our favorite!
yummy looking brownies, I love rocky road anything! Your blog looks great 🙂
Rocky Road was never my favorite ice cream either but these brownies may change my mind!
Oh yes, those brownies look amazing!! Sticky, gooey, and chewy…love it.
P.S. Loved your wild rice, potato, and sausage soup too. Pinning it!
Wow!Those look amazing!!! I am drooling here.
Yummy!
Rocky Road is not my favorite ice cream flavor either, but could easily be my favorite brownie.

As usual, these brownies look fabulous and decadently delicious!
I want a whole plate of these RIGHT NOW! Yum! They look amazing!!
