When people say leave the best for last, they had our Peanut Butter Rocky Road Brownies in mind. These decadent pieces of chocolate heaven have everything you'd ever want from a sweet-inspired bite. We're talking brownies, peanut butter, marshmallow creme, peanuts, chocolate chips, and candies all in one. Yum! Take your brownie game to new heights and keep delicious treats like this coming out of your kitchen.
Heat oven to 325°F (350°F for glass pan). Grease the bottom of a 9-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray.
Make and bake the brownies as directed on the box for cakelike brownies. Cool completely on a cooling rack, about 1 1/2 hours.
In a medium bowl, beat marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and milk with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Spread over the cooled brownies. Sprinkle with candies and peanuts.
In a small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 30 seconds; stir. Continue heating in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Spoon into a resealable food-storage plastic bag; partially seal bag. Cut a small tip from the corner of the bag; drizzle over the top. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
Cut these rich bars into bite-sized squares and serve in decorative papers.
Try crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for extra crunch!
In a hurry? Dip a fork into the melted chocolate, then quickly flick your wrist back and forth over the surface to create a zigzag pattern.
