Mint Chocolate Chip Rocky Road Bars

December 5, 2010 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 14 Comments

Mint Chocolate Chip Rocky Road Bars ~ This holiday cookie bar won’t crack or crumble in the mail. In fact the walnut graham cracker bottom will stay nice and crisp while the top remains soft and chewy. Throw in an extra hit of mint chocolate chips for the holidays and you have yourself a new Christmas cookie to add to your repetoire.

Mint Chocolate Chip Rocky Road Bars

These bars are extremely fast and easy to make. Thank goodness for that because in the last month I went from having no job, to looking for a job to starting a job—yeah, life has been hectic. Throw in the family, a non-stop talking, always-on-the-move toddler, the holidays, baking, blogging—and my life “training” has me shedding pounds faster than a feather weight contender.

Needless to say I’m trying to simplify my baking this year. Some of my labor intensive cookies have been nixed from the holiday line-up while fast and easy cookie bars like this have been added.

A few notes:

  • If you prefer to have your whole bar chewy, that is without the crisp bottom, drizzle extra honey on top of the walnut graham cracker layer before baking.
  • To maintain clean-cut sides make sure to wipe your knife between slices.
  • As always, toast your nuts for best flavor extraction and make sure they are completely cool before putting it through a food processor or you’ll end up with nut paste instead of finely ground nuts.
  • The bars can be kept tightly covered on the counter for up to 3 days.

Instructions:

Walnut Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 cup crushed graham cracker
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped or ground walnuts

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/2 mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Andes mint chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

    These look so amazing! I’ll have to try 🙂 But I don’t have a food processor–would a blender work too?

    Hi Megan,

    Yes, a blender will work just as well to make the crust!

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
