Fudgy Rocky Road Brownies

Every year we go to Bingo night at my nephew's school, and every year I volunteer to make a treat for the bake sale that goes on that same evening. My sister-in-law helps run the event, so I figure it's the least I can do to help out.

I decided to go with brownies this year, but I wanted to make them with a twist. They needed to be something that would grab people's attention and make them buy some! I opted for Rocky Road Brownies because....well, why not? I had to make these sans nuts because of the restrictions at the school, but I bet they would make these even better. The brownie is fudgy with nestles of chocolate chips and marshmallow hidden throughout. Enjoy!
