Lesley's Rocky Road Bars

I'm on my way back from Austin right about now, probably thinking about my great weekend and wishing they still gave you snacks on the plane.    

I invited Lesley from Fabulously Flawed to do a guest post today and share her amazing Rocky Road Bars with you.   

She's hilarious and irreverent (which are characteristics I absolutely adore in people) but she also can whip up some great crafty items, like this cool key hook made out of a book and a clothing hanger (seriously!) and managed to make a cute, fuzzy scarf, even though she claims she can't knit.  She even has an etsy shop with amazing jewelry...  

Also?  She quotes lyrics from The Smiths at the bottom of her blog.  How cool is that?

Hi guys! 

I'm Lesley from Fabulously Flawed.

You know that whole idol worship thing that we're not supposed to do?

Golden cow figures. Anything phallic. Statues of Mary crying blood.

Bieber.

I'm totally going to hell in a hand basket because I am very, very guilty of worshiping the ground that Miss Vivienne treads upon. 

So when she asked if I could do a guest post to return the favor she did for me, guest posting at my blog a few days ago, I was thrilled at the thought!

Before I go anywhere with this, just know that I would not share a recipe with you unless I honestly believed with every fiber of my being that you would love it. I'm not one of those chicks that adds salsa to Kraft Dinner and tries to pass it off as My Secret Mexican Macaroni Recipe.

Nuh uh, if I am going to encourage you to try something it's because it's good. Really good.

This is Miss Allison.

Miss Allison loves to bake.

 She's not big on eating sweets but she sure likes to make 'em!

So, when I told her that we were going to be making Rocky Road Bars, she just about screamed. This is because this recipe is one of the only recipes I have that I let her handle every step of ( besides putting them in the oven ).

This is it. 

The best recipe in the world.

I'm telling you, if and when you make these, you will be calling me thanking me.

 Yumminess like you wouldn't believe.

Rocky Road Bars

2 cups of graham crumbs

3/4 cups of margarine

1 1/2 cups of shredded coconut

1 1/2 cups of chopped walnuts

1 300 gram package of milk chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows

1 300 ml can of sweetened condensed milk

3 or 4 squares of melted semi sweet bakers milk chocolate

I'll tell you now, this is a fattening mess. But duh, you read the ingredients so like, you know this.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix the crumbs and the softened margarine together. Press the mixture into a 13 x 9'" greased pan.

Sprinkle the coconut all over the place.

Then sprinkle the nuts all over the place. And the same with the chocolate chips.

Then, carefully carefully, carefully...

I'm kidding. Don't be careful. Just put those mini marshmallows all over that mess.

Now you get to drip and ooze that gooey condensed milk all over your sugary messiness. It should look something like this.

Cook it. 30 minutes later take it out.

Note: Wear oven mitts. 

If you don't you will burn your pretty hands and then you'll have trouble picking up food and brushing your hair and typing a letter to Santa. And you know, there'd be pain.

Oh and melt that baker's chocolate. 2 or 3 minutes in the microwave should do it. Don't let it burn. Now drizzle that melted chocolate over your nom noms like so.

From this angle that 2" square looks bigger than Alli's head!

Eat.

And eat.

And eat.

Duuuuude! They are so good!

Happy baking! Muah!

Thanks for sharing this delish recipe with us.  I think I got another dimple in my thigh just reading it!  Yum!
