Rocky Road Bars

"It's a rocky road, but someone has to bake it." That's the quote for this recipe in my cookbook. So cute!

I felt the need to bring treats to work, much to the chagrin of my co-workers' waistlines, and had all these ingredients on hand. Yipee!!!

Ingredients

1/2 c butter, softened

1/3 c sugar

1 c flour

1 1/4 c mini marshmallows

1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c almonds, roughly chopped (or walnuts or pecans or whatever you want)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, grease an 8 inch square baking dish.

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Stir in flour and 1/2 c nuts. Press into the pan and bake for 15-18 min.

Remove from the oven. Sprinkle chocolate chips, marshmallows, and remaining nuts on top. Return to the oven for 5-7 min until the marshmallows are slightly puffed.

Remove from the oven and with the tip of a knife, swirl the toppings to incorporate and make a pretty pattern. Let cool then slice and go to heaven!
