I know, what a name. I tried to think of a new name for these, but alas I came up blank. So “crack brownies” they shall remain. These are super rich, and we like them best cold. Brownies, topped with Reese’s, marshmallows, and peanuts, then topped with a peanut buttery-chocolaty rice krispy treat. Pretty much anything with Reese’s peanut butter cups in them is going to be delicious, right?
I gave a large container filled with these to my hubby to take to work today and his coworkers didn’t seem to have a problem cleaning it out before he left for the day. 🙂
CRACK BROWNIES
1 pan brownies (9 by 13 inch pan)
2/3 cup roasted and salted peanuts
1 1/4 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped (I just used the mini ones and left whole)
2 1/4 cups mini marshmallows
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I used semi-sweet)
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups Crispy Rice cereal
Make brownies of choice, from scratch or a box, as long as it’s a 9 by 13 inch pan. (unfrosted)
After baking, top with peanuts, Reese’s, and marshmallows. You can use a little more or less of each of these, you just want to make sure they each pretty well cover the brownies in a layer so all the pieces get some of each.
Bake at 350 for 5-8 minutes, to soften the marshmallows and chocolate.
Put the chocolate chips and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat on high in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until melted. (stir every 30 seconds or so).
Stir in the cereal until well mixed, then top the brownies, spreading to coat evenly. Chill for at least an hour or more.
