Rocky Road Brownies

Fans of Rocky Road Ice Cream, you're going to love these dark fudge chocolate brownies topped with toasted marshmallows, chocolate chips, and of course, nuts are always optional for those not fond of them.

That's the beauty of making your recipe from scratch it will be exactly what ingredients your family loves.

Our family isn't a fan of nuts, so I did half the pan with crushed macadamia and pistachio for me and the rest plain.

If you haven't tried making these easy homemade style bars this is the ultimate brownie everyone loves and loves the chewy homemade decadent brownies.

We are all big brownie fans you may have had our Oreo Stuffed Brownies or our Peanut Butter Ritz Crack Stuffed Brownies both are scrumptious along with these to add to your list of must-makes.
