Recipe for Rocky Road Brownies

This Week’s 

“The 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies” 

is…

Oh my sparkling stars, I can’t believe it’s already cookie #9. That means I only have  3 cookies left in my cookie series, but so many more bookmarked!

Let’s see what we have had, shall we?

We started with…

Chocolate Almond Coconut Bar

Cocoa Coconut Cuties

Buttermilk Cookies with Nutmeg and Sour Cream Frosting

Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Bars with Chocolate Ganache

World Peace Cookies

Browned Butter and cardamom Cookies

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Pistachio Bites

 

And # 9 is…

The Rocky Road Brownie!

Today’s Platter selection is not a cookie at all, but a brownie. A brownie is a must at the holidays, and one I want to include on my cookie platter.

But this one has a secret!

It’s made with a boxed mix. You know it’s the holidays and everything is crazy, you have 500 cookies to bake and you need a little break. That’s where this brownie comes in!

But it’s richened up with evaporated milk. Then topped with mini marshmallows , nuts and chocolate chips. Considering this is all that was left when I went to take the picture, I’d say they were a success.

Actually, I know they were a success.  My teen told me so!
