Yesterday I was baaaad.
I am 5 weeks away from being in Hawaii, and not only did I only complete ONE session of Jillian Michaels 6-week six pack last week, yesterday I was craving brownies like no other! Not only brownies…but Oreos and brownies….no wait, ROCKY ROAD BROWNIES! Hence, I present you with these mini rocky road brownie cups. Fudgy brownie batter is baked in an Oreo cookie crust, and then topped with marshmallows, chopped almonds and drizzled with chocolate ganache.
Why must I give in so easily? Maybe because eating brownies is so much more enjoyable than 6-week six pack! Thank goodness I had some help eating them 🙂
Worth it.

Yum! Your brownies look amazing! I love the Oreo crust!!
These are so pretty. What perfectly decorated brownie cups. I love how they have marshmallows! And I think if you’re working out, you can get away with enjoying a couple of these xx
Ohh my goodness these look sinful and decadent. I think it might be dangerous to leave yourself in the house alone with a batch of these.
These brownie cups look absolutely superb 😀

Oh. My. God. These are…the best brownies EVER. Pinned!
And bad? Girl, I ate TWO slices of pie last night. #cantstop #wontstop
Great brownies! I’d gladly substitute these for a 6-week sixpack. Which is probably why I need a 6-week sixpack!
I bet these brownie bites taste better than a 6 pack feels 😛
Seriously, SO YUMMYYY!
Kristi!!! These look amazing. I was totally happy on my healthy eating bandwagon until I saw these. Now you have me suuuper craving chocolate! And Hawaii!! I’m so jealous, that sounds awesome!!!
Totally understand why you gave in. These look too good to pass up.
Bad? Girl, this is everything good in life!!! Rocky road is such an addictive flavor, so I know I would destroy these!
I’m sorry, but those are just evil! I will be making them. 😉
Wow, these look amazing!!! I was bad today too having an extra large slice of raw chocolate pie. I like to think because I’m running a half marathon Sunday, it’s okay. 🙂
