Simply Desserts

I love simple recipes. Anytime I am in the mood for something sweet I whip out these quick tricks just from the things I have in my house. Simple ingredients and simple recipes make for simple treats. I usually have these items in my house at all times. Especially marshmallows. I have a passionate, close to obsessive, love for marshmallows.

Rocky Road Bars:
1/2 cup of butter
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut-butter
4 cups rice crispies
3 cups marshmallows

-Melt the butter and chips in a sauce pan then add the peanut butter. I used chunky but it would probably be better smooth. 
-Once that is all melted leave it to cool for about 10 mins. You still want it to be spreadable but not hot. 
-Then mix the rice crispies and marshmallows together and pour the choco-peanut-butter mixture on to it. 
-Mix it up and put it into a deep pan. 
-Place into a refrigerator to cool. You don't want it to harden rock solid.
Make sure to not add the marshmallows to the chocolate mix until the mix is cool enough, that way the marshmallows will hold their shape better.

Perfect for snacks, children, and spontaneous get-togethers.  Or... to hide in the corner and keep them all to yourself!


Enjoy!

I was one of the lucky ones to snag a piece of this. And I kept it to myself in the corner =P I really liked this recipe, a good contrast of soft to crunchy and loads of flavor!
