Description
Easy no-bake rocky road bars with marshmallows and peanut butter, perfect for a quick dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup salted peanuts (or mixed nuts), roughly chopped
- 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookie pieces (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, if using unsalted nuts)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 3–5 minutes so it doesn’t melt the marshmallows.
- Fold in mini marshmallows, chopped peanuts, and cookie pieces (if using) until evenly coated.
- Press mixture firmly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for 2–3 hours (or until set). Lift out, slice into bars, and enjoy.
Notes
- For gluten-free option, skip cookie pieces or use GF cookies.
- Store airtight in the fridge up to 7 days.
- Freeze bars up to 2 months; thaw 15–20 minutes before serving.
- For cleaner cuts, warm the knife under hot water and wipe between slices.
