In fact, it might be easier to drizzle melted chocolate over the top rather than trying to spread melted chocolate chips on top of that marshmallow. I don't know why Maida makes such an issue of not allowing the marshmallow to melt, as I did prefer the firmer, gooier texture in these.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1132013297669184612005-11-14T19:08:00.000-05:002005-11-14T19:08:00.000-05:00I'm a little disappointed with the reviews of this...I'm a little disappointed with the reviews of this one, so I'm glad that you offered a suggestion for the untimate rocky roads. These bars look a bit like s'mores to me, though, so I might give them a try after a few modifications of my own.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456007322213045872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1131990087836008612005-11-14T12:41:00.000-05:002005-11-14T12:41:00.000-05:00Hi Reid - I agree, you just gotta have that browni...Hi Reid - I agree, you just gotta have that brownie on the bottom! No on the book - if you saw me struggling to write each post, you wouldn't ask! :-) My original thought in doing this (and what I still plan to do) is to create a notebook for each of my neices (who are 7 years and 17 months old) which I will give to them along with the cookbook some day.<BR/><BR/>Hi Jocelyn - thanks! Yes, they're definitely sweet!<BR/><BR/>Hi Niki - thanks - I guess chocolate, marshmallow and nuts are always appealing!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1131976797964895272005-11-14T08:59:00.000-05:002005-11-14T08:59:00.000-05:00Oooh, but they *look* so pretty!Oooh, but they *look* so pretty!Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16724833882784937754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1131960504224402172005-11-14T04:28:00.000-05:002005-11-14T04:28:00.000-05:00hi cathy, while the texture may not have been exac...hi cathy, while the texture may not have been exactly what you expected, it sounds delicious to me...i'm getting a sugar high just looking at that delectable picture...Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620313183747360569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1131949746804401512005-11-14T01:29:00.000-05:002005-11-14T01:29:00.000-05:00Hi Cathy,This just doesn't scream Rocky Road to me...Hi Cathy,<BR/><BR/>This just doesn't scream Rocky Road to me for some reason. Maybe it's because of the base. Based upon Phil's comment (who I've come to trust), I have to say that I'd probably not like these either.<BR/><BR/>BTW...Ever thought of turning the results of these baking experiments into a book like the Julie/Julia project?Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757257669831271556noreply@blogger.com
