Rocky Road S’mores Bars

These Rocky Road S’mores Bars are totally out of this world!  And guess what?

This recipe doesn’t require a campfire and it’s irresistibly layered with toasted chocolate stripe marshmallows, milk chocolate bar bits, and cocktail peanuts on top of a rich brownie layer on top of a graham cracker crust.  

Got all that?  If you make these, I promise you will!

When I was growing up, we always had s’mores after school, when we had sleepovers, after football games and camp outs.  This is a different version than the original s’more, and you’ll probably find that I will post multiple combinations of marshmallow, chocolate, brownies and graham crackers.

The sweetness of the toasted marshmallow and chocolatey layers with the salty roasted peanuts is undeniably irresistible!  Pretty much knocks your socks off!

ChocolaTess Trivia Tidbit!!

Did you know? According to Merriam Webster “National S’mores Day” is celebrated yearly August 10 in the United States.  Merriam-Webster marks 1974 as the first use of s’more, though recipes for “Some Mores” are in various Girl Scout publications until at least 1973.”

If you wanted, you could do different variations and top with caramel bits, chopped Heath or Snickers bars or your favorite nuts –no pun intended 🙂.  Here’s the recipe. What combinations do you like?
