Rocky Road-style Brownies

 These yummy marshmallow chocolate chunk brownies are so delicious.  They always end up looking entertaining because of the marshmallows, so we sometimes call them "bumpy brownies".  This recipe is an update on the marshmallow brownies recipe I posted years ago.  This one lowers the sugar a bit, adds chunks of chocolate, and you have the option to add some chopped nuts, if you like, for a true rocky road brownie!  Unfortunately, worsening allergies to nuts means I don't get to do that anymore at our house, but it would be a delicious addition if you like nuts.  Enjoy! 
Yummy Bumpy Rocky Road-Style Gluten-Free Brownies! They're so funny looking, but the taste is amazing!
Make sure these are fully cooled before serving.  Patience is needed!

Rocky Road-style Brownies

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Line an 8" x 12" (quarter-sized) baking sheet or 9" x 13" baking dish with parchment paper.  Butter any edges that aren't covered by parchment.  

In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt in 30 second increments at 50% power until melted, stirring every 30 seconds: 
100 g/3.5 oz dark chocolate (I've made this many times with many different types of dark chocolate - the type of dark chocolate will affect the final outcome - sometimes it'll be more gooey, sometimes more puffy - all delicious. Enjoy experimenting! I love using the Guittard dark chips.) 
1/2 cup butter

Once fully melted, add and mix in: 
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder

Add and stir in: 
2 eggs

Fold in evenly: 
75 g/2.5 oz mini marshmallows
1/2 cup milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup diced nuts, optional (I leave out bc of allergies, but it would make it into a proper rockyroad brownie - use your favorite nut - almond, cashew, walnut, pecan, peanut)

Mixed and ready to put in the pan.
Don't worry about perfectly spreading these into the pan - they'll spread as they bake.

Spread gently into prepared pan. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.  Remove from heat and let cool in pan on a wire rack.  While still warm, but not hot, carefully slice the brownies.  (This isn't necessary, but it is a bit easier to cut while they're still warm bc of the marshmallow).  Wait until fully COOL to serve.  Enjoy! 
Fresh from the oven! They never look the same way twice. So fun!
