Photo: Rocky Road Brownie Bites Recipe
My son's favorite ice cream flavor lately is Rocky Road so I thought I'd make a brownie to echo those flavors of chocolate fudge, marshmallows and almonds. Making them one bite in a mini-muffin tin makes them super easy to snack on or pack in a lunchbox. They're also great to make for any group you may have to prepare for -- like your turn for soccer snack or a school party. You may want to leave the nuts out to accommodate allergies if sending them to school, though.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup blanched almonds, chopped or slivered almonds
- 24 mini-marshmallows
- Equipment: Mini-muffin tin or regular
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Over hot water in a small bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together. Let cool to almost room temperature while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
In a mixer or with a whisk, whip the eggs with the sugar until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and salt with a wooden spoon. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir. Add the flour and stir in only until incorporated. Add nuts and mix briefly.
Grease a non-stick mini muffin (or regular) tin and divide the batter evenly by spoonfuls filling each 3/4 full. Top each with a mini marshmallow, pressing it in slightly. Bake for 20 minutes for chewy brownies and 25 minutes for cake-ier brownie bites. Let cool then ease them out of the pan.

I've made these for an annual brunch for a crowd. Be careful not to over-bake. Use really good chocolate. The marshmallows have a tendency to "evaporate." I like to dust them with confectioner's sugar after I plate them, so they look a little more attractive.

My kids love these brownies! They are not allowed to have nut products at school, so I omit the nuts and add chocolate chips. I let them help make them by giving them clean safety scissors and regular size marshmallows. They really enjoy cutting the marshmallows into the right size for the mini muffin pan.

I LOVE rocky road ice cream and I wasn't in the mood for something cold and found these and decided to try them out on myself and my husband and our friends. What a hit. I made 48 of them and still couldn't keep up and was asked for more. Delicious.
