1
box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
1
cup Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16 oz container)
1/2
cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
2
cups crisp rice cereal
2/3
cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/3
cups (8 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.)
  • 2 Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely.
  • 3 Frost brownies with frosting. Sprinkle with peanuts; refrigerate while making cereal mixture.
  • 4 Measure cereal into medium bowl; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cereal in bowl, stirring until evenly coated. Spread over frosted brownies. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set before cutting. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.

These are a big hit in my house. The only thing I changed is about 5 minutes before the brownies are done, I put marshmellows on top, back into the oven. Once out i spread the marshmellow over. I am not a big fan of marshmellows, but I love them in this recipe.

I made these one time for my biology class on final exam day, and everyone loved them! they are so different than a normal brownie, but are still amazing! they are best cold because they turn kind of messy if they are room temperature. I will for sure make them again!
