Rocky Road Brownies

These rocky road brownies start with a thick, fudgy base and get topped with a warm, gooey mix of melted chocolate, marshmallows, and salted peanuts. Unlike most recipes, the toppings aren’t just sprinkled on after baking. Instead, they’re coated in chocolate and spread over the brownies while everything is still melty. The marshmallows soften just enough, the peanuts stay crunchy, and the whole thing sets into a rich dessert that tastes like a brownie and candy bar all in one.
