Rocky Road Cake Bar Cookies

Rocky Road Cake Mix Bar Cookies

Base:
1 pkg. cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
4 tbsp. water


Topping:
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup (6 oz) Baker's Chocolate Chunks (or 1/2 package of chocolate chips)
1 cup walnuts or salted peanuts
6 oz (approx. 3/4 cup) M&Ms

Blend all base ingredients in large bowl.
Bake on lightly sprayed foil lined 15x10 jelly roll pan (the kind with sides) at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
You can use a 9x13 pan, bake just a bit longer.
The batter should be set, but not totally baked

Remove from oven and IMMEDIATELY cover with topping.
Place topping ingredients in order listed.
Return to oven for 5-10 minutes, or until marshmallows are melty and lightly toasted.

Use any flavor cake mix, any combination of nuts, chips and coconut just make sure the total amount is of nuts/chips/ etc 2 ½ to 3 cups
The important part of the topping is the 4 cups of marshmallows.


Combinations that work well:
German Chocolate cake mix, 1 cup coconut, 1 cup walnuts or pecans, 1 cup butterscotch chips.

Devils food cake mix, 1 cup white chips, 1 cup swirled chips, 1 cup semi sweet chips

Yellow cake mix, 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup peanuts, 1 cup Reese's Pieces

White cake mix, 1 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup walnuts, ½ cup crushed candy canes (or chopped Maraschino Cherries)


I usually make my own sweetened condensed milk using dried milk. I use the non instant type of dried milk, so the amount I use is different than the recipe calls for.
This works just fine unless the recipe really needs all that fat that's in ordinary sweetened condensed milk, then you have to add some butter or something
