Rocky Road Bites Recipes

ROCKY-ROAD BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; toast until fragrant and slightly darkened, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool completely.
• Place 30 mini foil baking cups on a rimmed baking sheet. Place 1 toasted almond in bottom of each cup. Carefully pour enough chocolate into cups to fill two-thirds of the way, stirring chocolate frequently while filling to ensure it stays tempered. Press 2 marshmallows into each cup to partially submerge in chocolate, then press 1 more toasted almond and several pieces of pretzel into each cup.
• Let stand until chocolate is hard and dry, about 2 hours. Serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

ROCKY ROAD BROWNIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Over hot water in a small bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. Let cool to almost room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
• In a mixer or with a whisk, whip the eggs with the sugar until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and salt with a wooden spoon. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir. Add the flour and stir in only until incorporated. Add nuts and mix briefly.
• Grease a non-stick mini muffin (or regular) tin and divide the batter evenly by spoonfuls filling each 3/4 full. Top each with a mini marshmallow, pressing it in slightly. Bake for 20 minutes for chewy brownies and 25 minutes for cake-ier brownie bites. Let cool then ease them out of the pan.
