Rocky Road Cheesecake Brownies! I love a good cake as much as the next guy but, sometimes I just want to try something a little different. The other night was one of those times. I had been outside mowing the yard for a few hours and when I came in I wanted something sweet so bad I just couldn’t stand it! So ensued the pantry digging. I scored a box of brownie mix, some pecans, some Oreo cookies, marshmallows, and some sweetened condensed milk. Hum, what on earth could I make with these ingredients? Well, I came up with what I am now calling Rocky Road Cheesecake Brownies. They consist of a fudgy brownie with nuts, cookies, and marshmallows on the bottom and a creamy cheesecake layer on top. They taste so good chilled with a tall glass of milk. This is a recipe that I will make over and over, especially when I want to wow people at get-togethers!

I have found that serving this with some extra Oreos on top with a glass of cold milk. I have also discovered that they are really good once they are chilled in the refrigerator for a while.
Enjoy!
