Just when you thought it was safe to go into your pantry…BAM! You’re hit with a hankering for something sweet and chewy. I’ve got just the treat that will satisfy your taste buds, and perhaps take you on a nostalgic trip back to grandma’s kitchen. These Rocky Road Buster Bars are great for morning or afternoon breaks, and pair well with a cup of tea or coffee. With a total prep and bake time of 45 minutes, you can easily whip up a few batches for bridal or baby showers, or spoil your bookworm friends at the next book club meeting.
Rocky Road Buster Bars
1½ cups graham crumbs
½ cup butter, melted
1½ cups flaked coconut
1½ cups chopped pecans*
1 package (300 g/10.58 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1½ cups miniature marshmallows (we use the colored marshmallows)
1 can (300 mL/10 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 squares semi-sweet chocolate
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line a 13×9-inch pan with foil or parchment paper, with ends of foil/paper extending over sides.
Mix crumbs and butter, press onto bottom of pan. Top with layers of coconut, nuts, chocolate chips and marshmallows. Drizzle with condensed milk.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, melt chocolate squares as directed on package.
Drizzle chocolate over dessert. Let stand until firm. Use foil/paper handles to lift dessert from pan before cutting into bars.
*Substitute dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins or chopped apricots for the nuts.
While you’re waiting for the bars to bake and set, take a seat in your favorite comfy chair and crack open one of my books. May I suggest a trip back in time with The Last Timekeepers?

Thanks for letting me mess up your kitchen (yet again!) to bake you and your followers these tasty treats and share my reading wares with them. You’re such a sport, Catherine! Hugs and cheers for all your support!
You’re welcome any time in my kitchen!
This recipe looks scrumptious and EASY–my kind of recipe. Lately, I’ve been using unsweetened coconut in dessert recipes. I figure a few less carbs and calories won’t hurt me, and I’ve discovered the dessert tastes the same with all the other sweet ingredients. Thank you, Catherine, for Tasty Tuesdays and sharing your books!
You’re welcome, Becky. I love hosting other authors and their tasty treats and books. Sharon’s recipe today has been a popular one! Thanks for supporting her.

Thanks for introducing me to your followers, Catherine. So happy we could create culinary happiness together! Wink.
