Ultimate Fudgy Rocky Road Brownies

Brownie 

1 cup Land O Lakes® Butter 

4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate 

2 1/2 cups sugar 

2 teaspoons vanilla 

4 Land O Lakes® All-Natural Eggs 

2 cups all-purpose flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

Topping 

1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter 

1/4 cup milk 

1 (3-ounce) 

package cream cheese 

1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate 

2 3/4 cups powdered sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

2 cups miniature marshmallows 

1 cup salted peanuts 

A dense fudgy brownie base is topped with 

rocky road ingredients--marshmallows and 

peanuts. 

- To substitute unsweetened cocoa for 

unsweetened baking chocolate, use 3 

tablespoons unsweetened cocoa plus 

1 tablespoon butter for each ounce of 

unsweetened baking chocolate. 

- Reduce baking temperature by 25°F. 

if using dark or nonstick baking pan. 

- For the tenderest brownies, stir 

brownie mixture until smooth; do not 

over-mix. 

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch baking pan. Set aside. 

Melt 1 cup butter and 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth 

(4 to 7 minutes). Remove from heat. 

Stir in sugar and vanilla. Add 1 egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add flour, baking powder and salt; mix just until 

all ingredients are moistened and brownie mixture is smooth. 

Spread mixture into prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of 

pan. (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) 

Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, cream cheese and 1 ounce chocolate in 2-quart saucepan. Cook over 

medium heat, stirring occasionally, until melted (6 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until 

smooth. Stir in marshmallows and peanuts. Immediately spread over hot brownies. Cool completely; cut into bars. Store 

refrigerated.
