Rocky Road Brownies

You guys, we’re officially in cookie season, right? Well to be honest, I’m never NOT in cookie season, but you know what I mean? December means HOLIDAY BAKING (insert cheers and confetti here)! I love all the cookies and bars that are in abundance at this time of the year and I always try to keep the cookie jars stocked. I also love giving people treats as gifts and this year these rocky road brownies will be my treat of choice.

Because what is better than rich, squidgy, fudgy brownies? Yep, you guessed it. Brownies topped with everything you love in a classic Rocky Road bar. Silky chocolate ganache, mini marshmallows, pecan nuts and glace cherries all on top of a brownie? Uh, yes please! I used my favourite brownie box kit which makes this recipe even easier but if you wanted you could totally bake your own from scratch. My triple chocolate coconut brownies would be awesome with this.

Your friends and family will absolutely LOVE these rocky road brownies. That is if you share them at all. I totally won’t judge if you don’t. 😉
