Rocky Road Brownies Recipe
These easy brownies start with a mix and get layered with a soft, salty topping made from melted chocolate, marshmallows, peanut butter, and peanuts. It’s a quick way to make a boxed mix taste completely homemade.
Ingredients
- 1 (18-ounce) box brownie mix + ingredients listed on the box
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups mini marshmallows divided
- 1 cup dry roasted, salted peanuts divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to box directions and prepare a 9x9-inch pan as instructed. Mix and bake the brownies as directed. Let cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Fold in 2 cups of marshmallows and 3/4 cup of peanuts until evenly combined.
- Spread the topping over the slightly cooled brownies.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of marshmallows and 1/4 cup of peanuts, pressing gently to help them stick.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Refrigerating before slicing helps the topping set, making cutting cleaner.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
- Wrap individual squares tightly and place in an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
