Rocky Road Bars

 

1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. granulated sugar

2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

2 t. vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 2/3 c. unbleached ap flour

1/3 c. Dutch process cocoa powder

3 c. chocolate chips (and again, I use milk chocolate chips but you can use

whatever you like)

1 c. roasted salted whole almonds, chopped; roasted salted cashews, chopped;

plain pecans or walnuts, chopped--whichever you like and your pocketbook can

afford!

1 c. miniature marshmallows

 

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Cream together the butter, sugars, baking powder, salt and vanilla. Beat in

the eggs. Stir in the flour, cocoa, 2 c. of the chocolate chips, and the

nuts of your choice.

 

Pat the dough into the prepared pan. Bake the bars for 15 minutes, until

they're set around the edge but still soft in the center. Sprinkle with the

remaining 1 c. chocolate chips and the marshmallows, and bake until they

soften, about 3 minutes more. Remove pan from oven and cool completely

before cutting into bars.

 

YIELD: 24 bars
