WALNUT DAY: Rocky Road Brownie Bars

Today is National Walnut Day, and I thought I'd focus today on one of the ways to incorporate walnuts in baked goods, specifically Brownies. Now, I often add chopped walnuts to Brownies, but here's a 1971 Diamond Walnuts Retro Ad & Recipe for Rocky Road Brownies. The recipe really transforms your favorite brownies into Rocky Road Bars with a thick Rocky Road frosting. So make a batch of brownies either from a box or from scratch and follow these directions. Be sure to add walnuts to the brownies, too!

ROCKY ROAD BROWNIE BARS

Ingredients
9-inch square pan of brownies
1 ounce square unsweetened chocolate
2 tablespoons soft butter
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup coarsely-chopped walnuts

Directions
Prepare brownies from your own recipe or a mix. Melt chocolate. Combine with soft butter, powdered sugar and milk; beat smooth. Spread over top of cooled brownies. Sprinkle with marshmallows and walnuts. With small spatula, swirl frosting around marshmallows and walnuts. Let frosting set before cutting.
