Happy Father's Day!
So if you haven't seen these amazing brownie bars over at Taste and Tell, head on over now! If you're not on a gluten free diet, you'll want to follow her recipe to the T; it's a good one!
I really really wanted to make these for Father's Day/my husband's birthday, so this past week I made a gluten free version. I mailed some over to my parent's house and they were a hit. We also had a couple left over last night and even though they were 5 days old, my mother in law & sister in law gobbled them up too =o).
I've yet to find gluten free graham crackers, so I had to improvise there. I combined gluten free Mi-Del Cinnamon Snaps and crushed Gluten-Free Rice Chex to make a modified version of the graham cracker crust. The other change I made is that I used white chocolate chips instead of toffee; I didn't have toffee :P. Because the brownie part of the recipe is different, I noticed that I had to cook my brownies a bit longer, so the cookie crust came out a little crispier than expected, but still tasty.
Step 1: Step 2:
The brownies/bars are super moist. If you make these Gluten Free Paula Deen Rocky Road Bars, then you'll want to closely monitor the brownies when you're baking them (I kept checking them every 10 minutes or so). Also, don't expect the knife/toothpick to come out clean when you're checking for doneness because they're going to be like fudge in texture :P! It's best to let them cool for about an hour before diving in, they'll stay together much better that way. :)
OOPS! ALMOST FORGOT TO POST THE RECIPE :P

Oh wow! I am definitely going to check out the original recipe. I'd never seen Paula Deen on TV until I was in New York last month. I know she is very popular but, er, I found her a bit of an aquired taste, I must say! ;)

WOW! I can't believe there isn't flour in these. The bars look amaaaaazzzzing.
it's definitely not right that any person should be prevented from eating rocky road bars, so i'm thrilled that you've adapted them for the gluten-freers. awesome.

I'm so glad you liked them and that you were able to make them gluten free!! My sisters still talk about these bars!
This looks scrumptious, your dad will be impressed.My friend who has Celiac D will be thrilled if I make these. She is also a vegetarian and one hardly finds snacks as delicious as these bars!

OMG, Sophie, you are a gluten-free goddess! These Rocky Road Bars look sinful — I can't wait to make them for my gluten-free friends - nice blog!
Holy cow, these look amazing and very very rich.
You know, I could've sworn I just heard my jeans gasp in horror. Regardless, I'll have to make these.
Btw, I like your creative idea for the crust.
