Meet my new favourite thing. IN THE WORLD.
Sweet and sticky Rocky Road Brownie Bark. The easiest recipe ever that makes the most delicious chocolate treat. Does it get any better?
All you need is a bowl and a spoon to make this Rocky Road Brownie Bark. It’s super chewy and sticky with melted mini marshmallows, pockets of chocolate chips and crunchy salted roasted peanuts.
I first made Brownie Bark back in December (remember THESE?). It took me a zillion times to get the recipe just right but when I did, oh boy, I was in h-e-a-v-e-n. So when it came to making a new brownie bark, I wanted one that I could make and enjoy all year long.
Enter: Rocky Road Brownie Bark.
I’m a huge rocky road fan. There is something about the perfect combination of crunchy nuts, chewy marshmallows and chocolate – lots and lots of chocolate.
It only takes a few ingredients to create this chocolate brittle, but it is a taste sensation. And it’s the extra chewy texture that gets me every time. If you have never made or eaten brownie bark before, it tastes somewhat like a fudgy brownie but it has a super chewy texture.
My recipe will give you a chewy Rocky Road Brownie Bark that has crispy, crunchy edges. The marshmallows melt straight out of the oven but once you let the brittle cool, they go extra sticky. You can bake it for longer if you are after something super crunchy.
Either way, you are guaranteed one sweet treat. So if you want want to serve your guests something special after-dinner, or you simply want to treat yourself, this is your answer. You don’t need any outrageous ingredients.
In fact, you don’t even need an electric mixer. Just mix, dump and bake. Honestly, I could NOT stop eating this Rocky Road Brownie Bark and I’m sure you will LOVE it too!

Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 150 grams (3/4 cup) caster sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

- In a large mixing bowl, add egg white and sugar and whisk together until smooth, approximately 1 minute or so. Add vanilla and mix again. Then add your melted butter and mix again.

Hello! What size is an oven tray? Is caster sugar the same as white sugar? Why is the chocolate m&m instructions at the end for this recipe?
Thank you
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Meg, thanks for your comment! It really doesn’t matter what size oven tray you use because you can spread the bark out as thin or thick as you like. I just use my regular cookie sheet but it doesn’t go right to the edges. Caster sugar is fine white sugar that is used for baking here in Australia. You can use granulated sugar instead. I’ve updated the recipe, thanks! Hope you enjoy!

I am actually obsessed with brownie bark at the moment because I am ALL about those crunchy chewy edges on regular brownies and brownie bark is all of that made even better! š
