Description
Fudgy, chewy, and packed with toasted walnuts, mini marshmallows, and melted chocolate chunks, these Rocky Road Brownies are the ultimate upgraded campfire classic. A dense chocolate base supports a gooey, crunchy topping layer for the perfect bite every time.
Ingredients
6 oz bittersweet chocolate (60–70%), chopped
10 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp kosher salt
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
3/4 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chopped milk chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8×8 light metal baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the bittersweet chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
3. Whisk in the sugar, then add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until glossy.
4. Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Stir with a spatula until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 26 to 28 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
7. Remove from oven and quickly scatter marshmallows, toasted walnuts, and milk chocolate on top.
8. Place under a broiler for 30 to 60 seconds, watching carefully, until the marshmallows begin to brown.
9. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for exactly 30 minutes before slicing.
10. Lift out using the parchment and cut into squares. Serve at room temperature.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to preserve fudgy texture.
Use parchment paper to easily lift brownies from the pan after cooling.
Broil only until marshmallows are golden; they will continue to melt slightly as the brownies cool.
