Rocky Road Bars – Packed with chocolate chips, chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Sure to satisfy every dessert craving!

Hi friends. My time here in the great food blogging community has been short. As in really short. But in the 5 months since I started baking and created this here blog, I have met some fantastic bloggers who I like to consider my friends.

I have only known Dorothy {Crazy for Crust} as a fellow dessert blogger for a few months but I am blown away by her skills. She has amazing creativity, and not only in the kitchen (psst, checkout her printables!) She can certainly come up with some fantastic ideas. In fact, I have a little feeling that Dorothy might actually be magic! Every time I check my RSS there is always some new and creative to tingle those tastebuds!

Oh, and did I mention that Dorothy recently ran 5k for the cure? I’m not sure how she manages to fit being a busy Mom, an amazing baker and home duties all into her schedule. Again, magic! Maybe she has a pair of red sparkly shoes, heh!

Take it away Dorothy..

Rocky Road Bars

Hello everyone! It’s Dorothy here, from Crazy for Crust, where I bake things with crust (and things without it too, I’m an equal opportunity baker).

I’m so excited that Lisa asked me to guest post. I love her site, and her food makes me drool. Repeatedly.

Today I’m sharing one of the “equal opportunity” treats with you. Because there isn’t a crust. There’s a cookie. In bar form. Which is kinda a crust. Sort of. Let’s go with it, mmkay?

I have a thing with Rocky Road.

And when I say thing, I mean obsession.}

I used to eat Rocky Road ice cream all the time as a kid. Now that I’ve married into a relationship where my other half hates marshmallows (?!) and my child doesn’t like chocolate based ice cream (?!?!) I rarely eat it.

It’s sad really. I must get to the ice cream shop, STAT.

But I can make it in cookie form. My kid has no problem with chocolate-based cookie desserts.

My husband still wouldn’t touch these. That ooey gooey delicious marshmallow? It’s like his kryptonite or something. Won’t touch it. (He won’t even eat rice krispie treats, but that’s a whole other story for a whole other post.)

Me? I can’t think of anything better than eating something that is chocolate and has marshmallows and almonds.
Almonds rock. Especially when paired with coconut, but again, that’s another story.

You know what would take this treat to, like, the nth degree?

If you know me, you can read my mind right now. Go on, give it a try.

…

Yup. Putting rocky road ice cream on top these babies. Too infinity and beyond people, really.

Enjoy! And thanks again to Lisa for having me. I’d love for you to stop by Crazy for Crust and say hi. I’ll make you some pie.
