Best Rocky Road Crescent Bars Recipes

ROCKY ROAD BARS

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.

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.

ROCKY ROAD CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut a 10-inch circle of parchment and put it on a turned-over baking sheet.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough on a work surface and separate the triangles. Spoon about 1 teaspoon each chocolate cookies, chocolate chips, almonds and marshmallows onto the short end of each crescent triangle. Fold in the sides over the filling, then roll up from the short end to the opposite point, making sure the filling stays inside. Tightly pinch the edges together to seal completely.
• Place a 4-inch ramekin in the middle of the prepared baking sheet and arrange the crescent rolls in circle around the ramekin; the rolls should be touching end to end. Remove the ramekin.
• Bake until the rolls are just beginning to brown, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and put the remaining marshmallows in the center ring. Return to the oven and bake until the rolls are golden brown and the marshmallows are melted, puffed and golden brown on top, about 8 minutes more. Use the parchment liner to slide the ring onto a serving plate. Drizzle with the hot fudge sauce and sprinkle with additional almonds. Serve immediately.
