Rocky Road Brownies Journal as: 1 serving of sweet dessert + 1 teaspoon of light butter or margarine |
Rocky Road brownies…does it get much better than that? Get ready, because at the very least this will be a new family favorite, pleasing kids and die-hard chocolate addicts alike.
1 box (18.25 oz) German Chocolate Cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Super Moist)
3 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
2/3 cup evaporated skimmed or lowfat milk (not sweetened condensed)
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting
2 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
2/3 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup evaporated skimmed or lowfat milk
2 cups miniature marshmallows
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan with a sheet of foil (wrap excess up and around the outer edges of the pan). Coat bottom and sides of foil-lined pan with canola cooking spray.
- Add cake mix, canola, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, and 2/3 cup evaporated milk to mixing bowl and beat on medium-low speed for 1 minute. Scrape sides and stir in nuts.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake in center of oven for about 18-22 minutes or until center holds its shape but is still moist and slightly fudgy (test the center with a fork to be sure--do not over cook).
- Remove from oven and begin making frosting. Add 2 tablespoons butter, 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup, cocoa and vanilla to small mixing bowl and beat on low until blended. Add powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of milk and beat on low until smooth. Stir in the marshmallows and spread evenly on slightly warm brownies. Let cool.
- Cut into 24 squares once it cools completely. Enjoy!
