Unbelievably Amazing Rocky Road Brownies

There is nothing quite like a phenomenal brownie. At least, not in my humble estimation. Also, I would argue that to qualify as an extraordinarily good brownie, one must have ample chocolate frosting. And nuts. Yes, definitely nuts. Then something to take it over the top. Would you like to know what drives these rocky road brownies to be a remarkable home run? Why it’s the marshmallow layer… obviously.

They are made on a cookie sheet, which is code for “invite your friends over” or “get your stretchy pants on,” because this recipe makes a bunch.
