A crunchy ‘rocky road’ bottom gives these bars extra crunch, while a sweet and fluffy marshmallow topping gives it a wonderful smoothness. These bars are just right to satisfy those crunchy-sweet cravings!

- 1 cup flour

Rocky Mallow Slice Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C/160˚C fan-forced. Line a slice pan with baking paper.
Melt butter and mix in vanilla. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, pour in the butter and mix well. Press into a 20 x 28cm slice pan and bake for 15 minutes until just firm.
Don’t overcook the base as it will be too brittle to slice. Leave to cool. While the base is cooling make the marshmallow topping.
Dissolve gelatine powder in boiling water. When dissolved add sugar and vanilla essence.
Then with an electric mixer beat until stiff peaks and the mixture is thick and fluffy. Spread marshmallow over the cooled base and allow to set before cutting into bars.
