ROCKY ROAD BROWNIE BITES



Rocky Road Brownie Bites image

My son's favorite ice cream flavor lately is Rocky Road so I thought I'd make a brownie to echo those flavors of chocolate fudge, marshmallows and almonds. Making them one bite in a mini-muffin tin makes them super easy to snack on or pack in a lunchbox. They're also great to make for any group you may have to prepare for -- like your turn for soccer snack or a school party. You may want to leave the nuts out to accommodate allergies if sending them to school, though.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup blanched almonds, chopped or slivered almonds
24 mini-marshmallows

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.

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 6

Brownie batter (your favorite recipe or a boxed mix)
2 cups of mini marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chopped peanuts or pecans
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate candy melt, almond bark, or more chocolate chips for melting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven according to brownie recipe or boxed brownie mix. Spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. Prepare brownies according to directions and fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Bake according to recipe. When done, place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. When cooled, place the brownie cups on a baking sheet or in a jelly roll pan and prepare rocky road mixture. In a large bowl, microwave the marshmallows and butter until puffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Quickly stir in chopped peanuts or pecans, then gently fold in chocolate chips. This is where it gets messy. Working quickly, use a spoon or your hands to scoop out small tablespoons of the rocky road mixture and place it on top of each brownie cup. Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least fifteen minutes, until hardened enough to dip. It's okay if they don't look perfect... you're going to dip them in chocolate! Melt almond bark, chocolate melts, or chocolate chips before removing brownies from the freezer. Dip the tops in melted chocolate, then place on a wax-paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.
