rocky road nutella bars with candied pistachios
“Delight your senses with our irresistible creation—Rocky Road Nutella Bars with candied pistachios. A symphony of flavors that redefine indulgence, blending the richness of Nutella with the crunch of candied pistachios.”
I had a frightening dream the other night.
Like pee your pants, wake up and say, “It can’t be real”, sleep with a night-light on afterwards type of horrifying dream.
You guys, I had a dream that every DVR in the world vanished. Disappeared. Gone. No one could explain why. It was like a DVR boogie man came out of a black technology hole and snatched them all up. So instead of recording all seventeen of my favorite shows, I could only record one. . . on VHS.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
When I awoke from my dream, I freaked out and immediately had a subconscious battle of what show to record. Big Bang Theory or The Bachelorette? Million Dollar Listing or Top Chef? Giada or Ina? How could I possible choose?! Wait. We don’t even have blank tapes! In midst of a panic attack, I shook Mr. B and said, “BABE! We don’t even have tapes!” Mr. B still lay fast asleep and I shook him again, “BABE! Never mind. We totally have tapes and a VCR. We are golden.”
Even though I really didn’t shake Mr. B and shout from the high heavens about our VCR inventory, although I felt like I did, this is the point where you tell me, “Lauren you are major bonkers”. I realize VHS recording was a reality not that long ago. In fact, Mr. B and I were the last ones to convert to the digital recording days. But friends I have to tell you, I don’t think I could go back. Could you imagine have to take care of VHS tapes and pressing the stop record button manually? OH THE HORROR!
Well, thankfully we don’t have to worry about the DVR vanishing today, so let’s talk sweets instead. If you read this blog, you know I’m not much a baker. I’ve got a case of the serious black yeast thumb or flour-challenged if will. That’s why I am completely smitten with these Nutella bars. No flour required. Just a bunch of melting business followed by a little chill action in the fridge. It’s easier than figuring out the moral plot in a Full House episode.
“Savor the divine finale with our Rocky Road Nutella Bars, featuring the exquisite touch of candied pistachios. Indulgence at its finest, leaving your taste buds craving more.”
These look like DANGER! Gorgeous, delicious danger.
Thanks, Sarah! They are definitely dangerously sweet!
Yum! Love the simple ingredient list, too!
Thanks, Jamie! I am all for simple ingredients especially when it comes to baking:)
Get outta here!! These are freakin killer.. pinning..winning..need them now!!
Thanks, home slice! I’ll save ya a couple:)
Whoa! These are some crazy awesome looking bars! Perfect for back to school snacks too! I love rocky road and pistachios!
Definitely a great after school snack! Thanks, Tieghan!
I absolutely love your sense of humor, Lauren. You had me laughing through this entire post (said the woman who still has a Sony BetaMax in her living room cabinet in case of a digital apocalypse). Love the recipe / love you more! – j
BAHAHA! I am so glad I’m not the only one hoarding ancient technological devices! Everyone is going to be sorry when that digital apocalypse rears its ugly head. That’s why I heart you!
Life without DVR would be devastating! What a bad dream indeed. Your rocky road bars look insaaane! Love the nutella and pistachios and love that they can comfort you out of a bad dream. 🙂
Thanks, Julia! I’m thinking anything with Nutella in it will definitely keep the boogie man away:)
Haha!! Welcome to my sad cable-less, DVR-less world. The hubby and I are perpetually one season behind on every TV show since we always wait for it to come out on Netflix or Amazon Prime. So if you want to talk about the first season of New Girl, I’m all in! 🙂 Thanks for the laugh…this line “easier than figuring out the moral plot in a Full House episode” actually made me chortle. I can’t wait to try this, and just eat those candied pistachios by the handful!
Thanks, Courtney! We are slowly making our way into the Netflix and Amazon world. Watched the entire season of Orange is the New Black and Sons of Anarchy! Streaming is definitely the new DVR.
Oh my! Not having a DVR exist really is a nightmare!! I can’t even begin to remember how we survived without them before…. I mean I had my VCR set to record like I have my DVR now but man…. You had to watch those shows like that day or they were gone! FOREVER! But these bars…. they would totally make me feel better if my DVR disappeared. I mean really…AMAZING!!
Right?!! Life would not be the same without DVR….and these nutella bars:)
I am loving this dessert!
Thanks, Maria!
I always forget about pistachios and how glorious they are in desserts. This one looks incredible!
Thanks, Leah!
First of all, these Nutella bars looks incredible. And with pistachios…yum!
Second, I was thinking the other day how horrible it would be to go back to cassette tapes for listening to music. So…I feel your DVR pain.
These look SOOO delicious Lauren~
I don’t know what I’d do without my DVR…..although if push came to shove, I’d totally trade it for a batch of these bars! I mean, Nutella, pistachios, marshamallows….I’m sold!
Bahahahaha, “figuring out the moral plot in a Full House episode.” <– WORD. You crack me up. But about these bars… um, yeah, I'll have a thousand, please. Times infinity.
Oh my goodness — these look EPIC, girl! I love the candied pistachios especially!!
And I don’t have DVR, but if Hulu disappeared, I’d be a goner. 😉
Oh wow these sound & look fantastic! I just shared on Twitter
@get2whit
Oh man, these are dangerously easy! I LOVE the sweet-salty flavor!
S*!% girl… I’m dying over here!
These bars have the best of everything!! Loving those candied pistachios!!
I still refer to recording something off the TV as ‘taping’ even if all I did was press a button and record it digitally. My boyfriend laughs at me every time I say it!
You really know how to take an everyday treat and turn it into something incredible – love those pistachios!
hahaha this was hysterical! I got the heebie jeebies just THINKING about not having a DVR..as it is, I get annoyed that it can only record two things at once, and you can’t watch anything else at the time…throws me completely off. Thank the lord for On Demand.
We were just talking this weekend about VHS and how weird its going to be that our kids are going to look at us like we’re aliens if we talked about that…or about cassette tapes..haha oh boy.
LOVE these Bars! Pistachios are my favorite kind of nuts! (Insert 16 year old ‘nut joke’ here)
These look so good! Love the candied pistachios!
That is a nightmare. I’d be lost without my TiVo. These bars? Omg. WANT.
Can’t wait to try these!
Oh my word, I NEED THESE LAUREN!!
I’m absolutely loving the addition of candied pistachios! I’m guessing this little treat would be perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon with a full DVR. 😉
Wow, these look amazing. Love the addition of pistachios!
