Ingredients
 
 

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened to room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs about 5 full sheets
  • 1/2 cup Pretzel Crisp Crumbs
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips
  • 1/3 cup Pretzel Crisps chopped
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Raw Almonds chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° (180C).
  • Grease an 8 x 8 baking pan and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Using a hand/stand mixer with the paddle attachment on, mix the unsalted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and light in color for about 3 minutes.
    1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, 1/3 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • Combine all-purpose flour, Graham cracker crumbs, pretzel crisp crumbs and cocoa powder and stir into the mixture using a spatula.
    1 cup All-Purpose Flour, 1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs, 1/2 cup Pretzel Crisp Crumbs, 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • Press the mixture into the prepared pan using the bottom side of a measuring cup. Make sure, not to leave any gaps.
  • Sprinkle half of the marshmallows on top, then chocolate and butterscotch chips, chopped pretzel crisps and chopped almonds. Top with the remaining marshmallows.
    2 cups Mini Marshmallows, 1/2 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips, 1/2 cup Butterscotch Chips, 1/3 cup Pretzel Crisps, 1/2 cup Unsalted Raw Almonds
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Watch the pan very closely so the marshmallows don't burn.
  • Remove from oven and let the rocky road bars cool down completely before cutting into squares.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • In place of Graham crackers, you can use Biscoff cookies.
  • If you are using full Graham cracker sheets grind them in a food processor or place in a Ziploc bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin. Do the same for the pretzel crisps.
  • When pressing down the mixture into the pan, make sure you do not leave any gaps or loose parts.
  • Besides semisweet and butterscotch chips, you can use dark chocolate chips and/or milk chocolate chips.
  • Besides almonds, you can use walnuts or peanuts.
  • Rocky road s'mores bars will keep fresh covered airtightly at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
  • To freeze rocky road s'mores bars cut into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place in an airtight container and freeze up to 2 months.
