Rocky Road brownies

Rocky Road started as a flavor of ice cream, that hard-to-resist combination of chocolate ice cream laced with chunks of nuts and marshmallows. William Dreyer came up with this cleverly named ice cream flavor back in 1929, and it was, and still is, a best seller. Its popularity is probably why the chocolate-nut-marshmallow combination is now found in so many desserts. I, too, am a fan and I regularly have a batch of Rocky Road Candy sitting in my refrigerator, and I love making these Rocky Road Brownies. These brownies are amazing, with their deep chocolate flavor and dense fudge-like texture topped with gooey melted marshmallows all jumbled together with chocolate chips and nuts.

Ingredients:
120 gr. unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
113 gr, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
200 gr. granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
95 gr. all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping:
85 gr. semi sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 cup miniature marshmallows (store bought or home made)
50 g. chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, and/or pistachios)


Preheat oven to 165° and butter, or spray with a non stick vegetable spray, an 8 inch (20 cm) square baking pan. 
Melt the chocolate and butter in a large stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar. Next, whisk in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, stir in the flour and salt.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the brownies with the chocolate chips, miniature marshmallows and chopped nuts. Return the brownies to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or just until the marshmallows start to melt. Remove from oven and let cool =D
