Corn syrup is available in a light and dark variety. Light corn syrup, which has a milder, sweet flavor, has been clarified to remove color and cloudiness.

I was so excited to try this recipe. I had to read it two or three times to make sure you add the chocolate chips and marshmellows before baking. I would think to add them the last few minutes. To much peanut butter, thats all i really taste. Other than that they were pretty good

rock road doesnt really describe these... i dont like the peanut butter nor the peanuts but like the idea... im going to try some different substitutes to make this more like "rocky road"

I suggest adding another egg to thicken the cream mixture, and don't add the marshmallows until the last 4 - 5 minutes. I think the idea is to brown them, not bake them. You could also cut back the amount of marshmallows.

I was really excited when I read this recipe. It sounded delicious, and I had all of the ingredients on hand. They were ok. The first bite was good, and by the third bite they are too much. Really sweet, and a little odd. I baked them a little longer than it says to try and get the middle baked. I believe this made the marshmallows a little tough and chewy, and maybe overbaked the peanuts. They were too hard among all the rest of the ingredients. I won't be making these again.

The peanut butter filling never really sets/firms. Very gooey and hard to cut into individual squares.
