NO-BAKE ROCKY ROAD BARS

Steps:

• For the bars: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment so that the edges fold over the sides of the pan. Spray with cooking spray.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese and butter to a medium pot and place over low heat. Cook, whisking occasionally so the bottom does not brown, until melted and well combined, a few minutes.
• Put the pecans, walnuts, graham crackers and marshmallows in a bowl; set aside.
• When the cream cheese mixture has melted, whisk until well combined, and then remove from the heat. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until all the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined.
• Pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the graham cracker mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and place in the fridge for 1 to 1 1/2 hours to set.
• For the quick marshmallow frosting: In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until creamy, a couple of minutes. Beat in the marshmallow creme.
• Remove the set mixture from the pan. Cut into squares and frost with or dip in the marshmallow frosting. Keep refrigerated.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For cookie base: In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add dry ingredients, about 1/3 at a time, mixing for just a few seconds with each addition until the dry ingredients have been barely incorporated. Finish mixing by hand, stirring to make sure that dry ingredients have been fully incorporated. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan using the butter wrapper. Press 2/3 of the cookie base into the greased pan then set aside. For the filling: Place butter, condensed milk and chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 10 to 15 second increments until chocolate has just melted and mixture is smooth. Add salt, vanilla, marshmallows and nuts and stir to incorporate. Pour into baking dish and spread evenly over cookie base. Topping: Dot the top of the filling with remaining cookie batter. Filling will still be visible between clumps of batter. Sprinkle marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over top and bake for 28-32 minutes, until marshmallows are nicely browned. Allow the bars to cool before cutting. Tip: You can use a 9-inch square pan, but will need to bake for 5 to 7 minutes less. If you double this recipe, bake it in a 15 x 10-inch pan for 5 to 7 minutes less.
