So, you might remember that we recently made a Rocky Road Fridge Cake. Since then, my son has been somewhat obsessed with the idea, so I’ve been looking for ways to work it into our joint cooking sessions.
I was shopping in Meijer recently and noticed their great range of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Baking Mixes. These new, premium baking mixes are available in four varieties, so I bought them all!
- NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Cookies & More Baking Mix with Butterfinger Baking Bits
- NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Cookies & More Baking Mix with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Brownies & More Baking Mix with Butterfinger Baking Bits
- NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Brownies & More Baking Mix with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
The NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Brownies & More Baking Mix with Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels would be perfect for making Rocky Road Brownies! A 5oz bag of the morsels are conveniently included in the box, so to my shopping cart I also added graham crackers and mini marshmallows.
The next time that F mentioned rocky road – I was ready for him! To start with I put some graham crackers into a sealable bag and F bashed them up!
Then he poured the brownie mix into a large bowl.
He added oil, water and an egg.
And stirred it all together.
Next it was time for the fun stuff! He added the graham cracker crumbles, mini marshmallows and the chocolate morsels. Note: We didn’t use the whole bag of morsels that came with the baking mix, only 3 oz (approximately half a cup).
Everything got mixed together then I poured it into a 8×8″ baking pan that I had lined with a silicone mat.
We baked it according to the packet instructions. It looked AMAZING! The marshmallows melted into the brownie, the graham crackers provided interesting crunch, and the morsels were wonderfully gooey and chocolaty! Nestlé Toll House have over 75 years of baking experience and it really shows with these new mixes. Also they don’t add any artificial flavors or colors which is always a benefit if these treats are to be enjoyed by children!
