Marshmallows are another non-vegan thing I don’t really miss, but I have to admit there’s something terribly appealing about rocky road bars. Dark chocolate, crispy nuts, and chewy marshmallows? Whoever thought of that deserves the Nobel Food Prize. (Wait, there’s no Nobel Food Prize? What?!!)
But even better than that – yes, I know it’s hard, but trust me – are rocky road brownies. The marshmallows melt into gooey, sticky blotches of intense sweetness in the middle of the thick chocolate sponge, and when a hazelnut hits your teeth, the crunch is so utterly satisfying you might just moan. Boyfriends, be warned – you’ve got competition, boys.
