Rocky Road Brownie Bites

Brownie batter (your favorite recipe or a boxed mix)
2 cups of mini marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chopped peanuts or pecans 
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Chocolate candy melt, almond bark, or more chocolate chips for melting


Preheat oven according to brownie recipe or boxed brownie mix. Spray mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. 

Prepare brownies according to directions and fill muffin cups about 1/2 full. Bake according to recipe. When done, place on a wire rack and allow to cool completely. 

When cooled, place the brownie cups on a baking sheet or in a jelly roll pan and prepare rocky road mixture. 

In a large bowl, microwave the marshmallows and butter until puffy, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Quickly stir in chopped peanuts or pecans, then gently fold in chocolate chips. This is where it gets messy. Working quickly, use a spoon or your hands to scoop out small tablespoons of the rocky road mixture and place it on top of each brownie cup. Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least fifteen minutes, until hardened enough to dip. It's okay if they don't look perfect... you're going to dip them in chocolate!

Melt almond bark, chocolate melts, or chocolate chips before removing brownies from the freezer. Dip the tops in melted chocolate, then place on a wax-paper lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.
