for your tastebuds’ pleasure…

Just in case you have a little free time this afternoon, and you decide you need a little something sweet, and you can’t decide what to make, I thought I might post the recipe to  “Aunt Betsy’s Rocky Road Squares.”   Because these are exactly what you need for your sweet -tooth’s munchie habit today.  Listen, you can’t go wrong with marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers…

Here’s the recipe in my dear Grandma B’s handwriting (Ann Brubacher, my grandma and Aunt Betsy’s sister…) I just love having this recipe written by hand, it makes it that much more special to me. and yes, I know I unfortunately got a tiny bit of melted butter on the paper; it was an accident.  I’ll type the recipe out in full below in case you can’t quite read the writing.

There is no way that you won’t love these!!!  I promise!

Okay, here’s the recipe for Rocky Road Squares (In case you didn’t know, if you’re Canadian, its a “square.”  If you’re American, its a “bar.”):

Ingredients

6oz chocolate chips, 1/2 cup margarine, 1 egg (preferably at room temp), 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, 2 cups mini marshmallows, graham crackers ( to line the bottom of the pan.

Instructions:

line your 9×9 pan with graham crackers.  melt chocolate chips and margarine in pan over medium heat.  remove from heat and add 1 egg to the chocolate mixture.  ( I usually temper the egg with a bit of the chocolate mixture, then vigorously whisk the egg into the chocolate)  next add the sugar.  wait for mixture to cool for a bit before adding the marshmallows. spread chocolate-marshmallow mixture over the graham crackers.  chill in the refrigerator til  firm, cut and serve.

I recommend enjoying these delightful treats with a tall glass of milk!   You can thank me later.
