rocky-road-smores-bars-4title
Prep Time : 15min
Cook Time : 50min
Total Time : 1hr 5min
Serve : 9-12

INGREDIENTS
graham cracker crust
12 full graham cracker sheets
4 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons butter
brownie layer
16 tablespoons butter (1 cup)
½ cup cocoa powder
½ cup milk chocolate chips
1½ teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup flour
2 cups brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup half and half (or milk of choice)
topping
½ cup mini marshmallows
⅓ cup peanuts
⅓ cup milk chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 and line an 8×8 inch pan with foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
In a blender or food processor add graham crackers and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add sugar and pulse 2-3 more times. Add butter and continue to pulse until mixture comes together. Press evenly into prepared pan and bake 10 minutes.
While the crust is baking, prepare the brownie layer. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat melt butter, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips together, stirring throughout until smooth. Remove from heat and transfer chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Stir in vanilla, eggs, flour, brown sugar, half and half, and salt and mix until combined. Pour mixture over baked graham cracker crust and bake 35-45 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven. Scatter mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and peanuts over brownie layer. Switch oven to low broil. Return pan oven and WATCH VERY CLOSELY for about 2-3 minutes until marshmallows are toasted. (BE CAREFUL NOT TO LET THEM BURN!) Remove from oven and chill until completely cool, then cut into bars and store in airtight container at room temperature.

3. Kit Kat Brownie
kit-kat-brownies-2
This recipe will yield a 9 x 13 pan of brownies.

Ingredients:
6 ounces of Hershey’s unsweetened chocolate baking bar (or 6 squares baking chocolate)
½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
4 Kit Kat King Size Bars (I found these at Walgreens)
6 eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan (or you can use Baker’s Joy as a substitute).
3. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler (or microwave). Set aside to cool.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, add the eggs, sugar and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
5. Slowly, fold in the cooled chocolate mixture with a silicone or rubber spatula.
6. Lastly, fold in the 2 cups of flour.
7. Pour half of the brownie mixture into the greased and floured pan.
8. Place the kit kat pieces on top of the mixture in the pan.
9. Pour the remaining brownie mixture on top of the kit kat layer.
10. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes (rotate half-way through) or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
11. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not bake past 40 minutes. If you insert a toothpick and it comes out wet, it could possibly be the melted kit kat inside (not an indication of brownie doneness).
12. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

4. Peanut Butter Cheesecake Brownie Bars

You get a double dose of delicious with these double-layered brownies!
Yield: 16-24 bars

Ingredients
For the brownies
¾ cup butter
6 oz dark chocolate, chopped
1½ cups sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1½ tsp vanilla
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
For the peanut butter cheesecake
8 oz reduced fat cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg
½ cup sugar
½ tsp salt
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chocolate for the brownies. Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until both the chocolate and the butter are melted.
Whisk the sugars into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the vanilla and eggs until well-combined. Stir in the flour until it is just incorporated.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle it with the chocolate chips. Set aside while you prepare the peanut butter cheesecake.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Mix in the egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla on high for 2 minutes. Mix in the peanut butter on high for 2 minutes. Pour the cream cheese layer over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly and smoothly until it covers the whole pan.
Bake for 38-42 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set but still a bit loose, as it will cook more as it cools.
Allow to cool for at least one hour and then cover and refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight. Cut into squares and serve.
