Tip of the Day

For crumble-free cake slices, heat your knife first. To heat the knife, just run it under warm water and wipe dry. (This same tip works when frosting a cake.) You can also use unwaxed dental floss to cut the cake.


Rocky Road Brownies
Delicious and Easy
Ingredients:

  • 1 store bought brownie mix
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 squares of unsweetened chocolate (1 oz each)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 package powdered sugar (16 oz)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Mix the brownies according to the package directions. Stir the chopped pecans into the batter. Spread the batter mixture in a 9 X 13 greased pan and bake for 25 - 35 minutes. (Test with toothpick.) Remove from oven and sprinkle the miniature marshmallows over the hot brownies so they melt a bit. Cool.
  • In a heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate, milk and butter together until combined ~ stirring constantly. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and add vanilla. Then add the powdered sugar a little at a time, mixing with a hand mixer on low speed. Spread over the brownies. Cool and cut into bars.

  1. These sound incredibly yummy! I'm going to try these out tomorrow. Do I need to keep them refrigerated? These are calorie and fat free of course, right? :-)
