Rocky Road Squares

These bars are the easiest thing I’ve ever made. They took literally five minutes to make. It combines the classic flavors of marshmallow, peanuts, and chocolate. I had Hubby cut these into bit sized pieces and took them to ReRack. Everyone seemed to enjoy them because they were gone before I knew it.

    I love, love, love how serious your distinction is between chewy puffy vs. chewy thin vs. crispy thin cookies. It makes me smile.

    I love molasses and chocolate chip cookies. Great idea to put them together. I like chewy thin cookies.

    One of my co-workers makes a ginger chocolate chip cookie that I was surprised to find I liked. These seem like they’d be similar.

    I love these cookies because I am the worst person at remembering to take butter out to soften and with these I don’t have to worry about that. I made my first batch with milk chocolate chips and my second with butterscotch chips (since my FIL can’t have chocolate) and they were both wonderful. The 8 year old finds them too tangy – so more for me 🙂
