| Servings: | 24 |
| Yield: | 1 9×13 inch pan |
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- ¼ cup milk
- 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, baking powder, vanilla, 2 eggs and walnuts. Stir until well blended. Spread evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- For the next layer, in a medium bowl, beat the 6 ounces of cream cheese (reserve 2 ounces of the package of cream cheese for the next layer) with the 1/2 cup of sugar, egg, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1/4 cup of butter. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Spread evenly over the first layer.
- Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the second layer. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven. Then sprinkle the miniature marshmallows over the top and bake for 2 minutes longer.
- Begin to prepare the icing while the bars are in the oven. In a medium saucepan, melt together the 1/4 cup of butter, 1 square of chocolate, remaining 2 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of milk. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups of confectioners’ sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour over the marshmallows and swirl together. Refrigerate until firm, cut into squares.

Reviews
My aunt made this recipe and sold it to when she was young. It’s family tradition to bring this to every event. We love this desert and love her
Very good brownies. Definitely will make again.
This was incredibly over sweet. Definitely decadent, but way too sweet. I love sweets, the friends I served it to love sweets, but this was way too much. If I were ever to make it again (doubtful) I would cut way back on the sugar in the base and definitely do something different with the fudge frosting. Maybe make that layer thinner? Not sure, but something different.
I love this recipe. Delicious!!!
I’ve made these multiple times and I’ve found that a few tweaks make this recipe perfect. First, ADD MORE CHOCOLATE in the brownies. I end up using about a whole bag of chocolate chips (thanks to my big bro) and they are amazing. Also, I found that it is completely sweet enough without the icing. Otherwise these are incredible. Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve been making these since I was 15. They were my favorites then and they still are. All you need to make you perfectly happy is a glass of milk & one of these bars warm from the oven!
I usually try to take the easy way out if I can but this recipe didn’t seem like it would be that difficult and it wasn’t. I had the time and all the ingredients and I also used pecans. The only other change I made was to bake this in a 10×15 pan and watched the cooking time. I will definitely make this many more times.
THE BEST BROWNIES – EVER!! ??. Didn’t change a thing. I read where one reviewer doubled the cream cheese and I will try that next time but they are perfect the way it’s written. I found this exact recipe ages ago in a pillsbury bake-off book. Yum.
These were awesome! I am an avid baker and don’t often come across something that is different, and everyone loves. But this is it! A great twist on brownies. Next time I think I will make the cheesecake layer thinker because that part was my favorite but great as is.
I have been making these for over 20 years, and they are great . They are time consuming but well worth the effort.
We’ve been baking this in my family since as long as I can remember, and it’s always resulted in an empty tray. A decadent, delicious, delectable treat that we indulge in once a year…
Everybody raved about these.I used the advise to use 1 cup of chocolate and 1/2 white and 1/2 brown sugar and used almonds instead .. unbelievable… a big big hit… everyone is raving about them
Please people…we KNOW these are rich and sweet, they are not for the faint of heart, you must be a true chocoholic to enjoy these. They are wonderful! *Someone’s fudge sauce was very thick – I wondered if they forgot to add the milk to it. Last night I was making these for about the 20th time and I thought, I don’t remember the fudge sauce being so thick, then realized I forgot the milk, so I added it with the powder sugar and all was good again. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the yummy, too rich, too sweet dessert! 10 stars 😉
My daughter made these for a NAMI class we are taking! They were a big hit!
Excellent! My daughter and I made them…very easy…I made these years ago…was nice to see them here. Will definately make over and over again!
This recipe was passed down to me from my mother to me. It’s always been a great hit everytime! My hubby and son who don’t like cheesecake or nuts request me to make this every Christmas. They are extremely rich, but well worth it. Yummo!!
my family wouldn’t it these and I followed the recipe exactly
There is no heavenly or earthly reason someone wouldn’t like these….These are the most Amazing little Rocky Road Fudge Bars ever.. actually Fudge is known for being sweet.. but the brownie and marshmallow and cream cheese part.. takes a bit of that really sweet part away.. It balances it out perfectly! I made these for people at work and EVERYONE Loved them.. they wanted the recipe!
OMG – Super sweet and sooo delicious. i used a Brownie mix and it saved on the prep time.
I made this recipe for my boyfriend to bring to work. Sadly, it didn’t go over so well. I found this recipe far too rich and wouldn’t recommend it unless you absolutely love something very rich (even more than cheesecake). I think it could be improved though, with some changes.
so good i double the cream cheese filling
