Mini Rocky Road Brownie Cups

rocky road brownie cups

Yesterday I was baaaad.

I am 5 weeks away from being in Hawaii, and not only did I only complete ONE session of Jillian Michaels 6-week six pack last week, yesterday I was craving brownies like no other! Not only brownies…but Oreos and brownies….no wait, ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES! Hence, I present you with these mini rocky road brownie cups. Fudgy brownie batter is baked in an Oreo cookie crust, and then topped with marshmallows, chopped almonds and drizzled with chocolate ganache.

Why must I give in so easily? Maybe because eating brownies is so much more enjoyable than 6-week six pack! Thank goodness I had some help eating them 🙂

Worth it.
