Blue Ribbon Rocky Road Caramel Bars Recipes

BLUE RIBBON CREAMY CARAMELS

Steps:

• Spray a large loaf pan or 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Stir white sugar, 3/4 cup cream, corn syrup, butter, vinegar, and salt together in a heavy pot; bring to a boil. Stir in remaining cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is 244 degrees F (117 degrees C), or until a small amount of caramel dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
• Stir walnuts and vanilla extract into caramel; pour caramel into prepared baking dish. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Turn baking dish over onto a flat work surface to remove cooled caramel from dish; cut caramel into serving pieces.

SUPER QUICK AND EASY ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Prepare both boxes of cake mix per package directions so they are thick and cakey. Add 1-2 extra eggs to the batter. Pour batter into a greased 13x9" dish and bake per directions. It may take a little longer to cook so keep an eye on it and check for doneness with a toothpick. Cool for approximately 10 minutes.
• 2. Stir the chocolate frosting and add mini chocolate chips. Set aside.
• 3. Spread one container of marshmallow cream over brownies while they are still warm.
• 4. Slightly melt frosting in the microwave for approximately 20-30 seconds. Stir and drizzle over marshmallow cream. Run a butter knife gently through marshmallow and frosting mixture down one side and up the other to swirl the two together.
• 5. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and toffee bars. If you place in the refrigerator for a few hours it will allow the brownies to be really dense and yummy and will make it a lot easier to cut apart. Happy baking!
