Rocky Road Crunch Bars Recipes

NO-BAKE ROCKY ROAD BARS

Steps:

• For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
• Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
• When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
• Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
• For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
• Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup in a heavy based saucepan. Scoop out about 1/2 cup of this melted mixture and put aside.
• Put the biscuits/cookies into a freezer bag and then bash them with a rolling pin. You are looking for both crumbs and pieces of cookies.
• Fold the cookie pieces and crumbs into the melted chocolate mixture, and then add the marshmallows.
• Pour into a 9-inch square foil tray; flatten as best you can with a spatula. Pour over the reserved 1/2 half cup of melted chocolate mixture and smooth the top.
• Refrigerate for about 2 hours or overnight.
• Cut into 24 fingers and dust with powdered sugar by pushing it gently through a tea strainer or small sieve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
• To make the first layer: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Off heat, add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, nuts, and baking powder and mix well. Press into the prepared pan and set aside.
• To make the second layer: Place the cream cheese, sugar, flour, butter, egg, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitter with a paddle and mix until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the nuts, mix to combine, and spread over the first layer. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and transfer to the oven. Bake until slightly golden on the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle the second layer with the marshmallows and return the pan to the oven until the marshmallows are just melted but not colored, about 3 minutes.
• To make the frosting: Place the butter and chocolate in a small pan and cook over the lowest possible heat until almost all the chocolate has melted. Add the cream cheese and milk and mix until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth. Immediately pour the frosting over the marshmallows and briefly swirl the two mixtures together. Cool in the pan and cut into 36 to 48 bars. Cover and refrigerate.

• Add 3/4 cup of the marshmallows and 3/4 cup of the almonds and stir to combine.
• Transfer batter to the prepared dish and spread evenly.

• Move the rack to the top of the oven.
• Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips, marshmallows, and nuts over the surface of the batter.
• Return to the oven and continue baking until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
