Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Melt chocolate and butter or margarine: Begin by melting the chocolate and butter (or margarine) together. You can do this either over hot water or in a microwave set to Medium for approximately 4 minutes. Once melted, allow the mixture to cool. |
| 2. | Beat eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they become a vibrant lemon color. This step ensures a light and airy texture in your brownies. |
| 3. | Add sugar gradually: Gradually add the sugar to the beaten eggs, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes thick, which should take around 3 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect sweetness in your brownies. |
| 4. | Incorporate chocolate mixture: Stir in the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. This will infuse your brownies with rich chocolate flavor. |
| 5. | Fold in flour, vanilla, and nuts: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and chopped walnuts until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense brownies. |
| 6. | Prepare baking pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8″x 8″ square pans to prevent the brownies from sticking. |
| 7. | Pour batter into pans: Divide the brownie batter evenly between the prepared pans, spreading it out to the edges with a spatula. |
| 8. | Top with marshmallows: Sprinkle miniature marshmallows evenly over the top of the brownie batter in each pan. The marshmallows will melt slightly and create a gooey, irresistible topping. |
| 9. | Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the brownies are set around the edges but still slightly moist in the center. Avoid overbaking, as this can result in dry brownies. |
| 10. | Check for doneness: To ensure your brownies are perfectly baked, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs attached, but not wet batter. |
| 11. | Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the pans from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pans for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy these decadent Blockbusting Rocky Road Brownies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence! |
| 12. | Freezing: These brownies freeze exceptionally well, making them perfect for storing for later enjoyment. Simply wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. To thaw, simply let them come to room temperature or warm them slightly in the microwave before serving. |
These Blockbusting Rocky Road Brownies are guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering or as a special treat for yourself. Indulge in the rich chocolate flavor, crunchy walnuts, and gooey marshmallow topping for a dessert experience like no other!
