BAKED BY A BRUNETTE

ROCKY ROAD BROWNIE

 

So I was strolling through Aldi the other day and noticed a large packet of mini marshmallows, I instantly had an urge to make rocky road so just HAD to buy them! Instead of making a traditional rocky road I decided to experiment with a brownie and the result was a gooey, fudgey, chococlatey deliciousness! (Obviously a technical term!)

 

Ingredients

 

150 butter

175g dark chocolate

2 eggs

225g caster sugar

150g self-raising flour

45g mini marshmallows or larger ones cut into quarters

3 rich tea biscuits

75g choc chunks of your choice

 

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C

2. Lightly grease and line a 23cm square tin

3. Gently melt the butter and dark chocolate in a bowl over a pan of water at a low heat. Once melted stand aside to cool

4. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs and sugar

5. Add the chocolate and butter mixture to the eggs and sugar and whisk until combined

6. Sieve the flour into the mixture and continue to whisk until the mixture is quite thick

7. Break the biscuits into chunks and roughly slice the chocolate into chunks, don’t make either too small as you want a bit of crunch

8. Fold the chocolate, biscuits and marshmallows into the mixture and stir so they are evenly distributed

9. Lastly pour the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth over with a knife

10. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, a skewer should come out nearly clean when inserted but not entirely as you want the brownie to be slightly fudgy

11. Completely cool then cut into little squares (or big ones if they are for yourself!)

 

Tip- Why not make a Christmas version by adding cranberries, gingerbread and candy canes.
