Rocky Road Bar Cookies
These Rocky Road Cookie Bars are rich & filled with nuts, coconut, chocolate & of course mini marshmallows. Everyone's favourite Holiday cookie recipe.
Ingredients
FOR THE BASE
- 3 ounces chocolate 90 grams, semi-sweet, dark, good quality
- 1/2 cup butter (112 grams)
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs 375 grams, or digestive cookie crumbs
- 1/2 cup nuts 63 grams, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup coconut 47 grams, flaked
FOR THE TOPPING
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 90 grams, mini
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallows 75 grams, mini; if unavailable, cut large into small pieces
- 1/2 cup coconut 47 grams, flaked
- 1/2 cup nuts 60 grams, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk 200 grams
*You can use walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or even almonds. I used walnuts.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees celsius). Line an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20cm) square pan with parchment paper.
FOR THE BASE
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pot of boiling water (or microwave), stirring occasionally until melted. Once it is melted, add the crumbs, nuts and coconut mix well.
- Add to the prepared cake pan and press the crumbs down evenly in the pan to form the base. If you find the crumb base too crumbly add a bit more melted butter (2 -3 tablespoons more).
FOR THE FILLING
- On top of the base sprinkle first the, marshmallows, then the coconut, nuts and chocolate chips, lastly drizzle with the sweetened condensed milk, as evenly as possible.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the marshmallows start to turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Refrigerate for about an hour to make cutting easier. Enjoy!
Notes
- A trick I learned is to crumple the parchment paper, then wet it, shake out the excess water and then line the pan. Stays in place perfectly.
