About the Recipe: This is a flavor combo that most people love. The dense fudgy brownie base is easy to make from a package mix. Then just simply top the brownies while hot with marshmallows, pecans, spoonfuls of fudgy frosting, cracked chunks of milk chocolate, and more cobblestone nuts. These brownies are known to be gooey, chewy, crunchy, and oh so, fudgy.
Cook’s Note: I used an 18.75 oz. box Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme Premium Brownie Mix (which contains chocolate syrup) I added 1/4 cup water, 1/3 cup avocado oil, and 1 egg to the mix. I baked it in 9-inch greased foil lined square pan at 325 degrees F. for 40 minutes.
You can use any brownie box mix, just watch the pan size since baking it in a bigger pan would use more topping ingredients.
History of Rocky Road Flavor Combo:
The flavor Rocky Road has had a long history that started in Australia sometime around 1853. After making the long trip from Europe, many candies and sweets were less than desirable. Businessmen thought of ways to sell them: mixing all the ingredients together. This new treat was sold in and around Melbourne as “Rocky Road” due to the tumultuous journey required to transport it.
Across an ocean and some 70 years later, the name appeared again, but this time in a more refreshing form. In 1929, William Dreyer used his wife’s scissors to cut up marshmallows and walnuts, which he then mixed into his chocolate ice cream. Later that year, when the stock market crashed, the name of the flavor became Rocky Road, “to give folks something to smile about.”
