A brownie mix base makes this a simple treat that will appeal to adults and children alike. Creamy peanut butter, crunchy nuts and crisp cereal make the bars fun to bite into. Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size) |
12 peanut butter cups, chopped |
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1-1/4 cups creamy peanut butter |
1 tablespoon butter |
1-1/2 cups crisp rice cereal |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
2. Sprinkle with peanut butter cups and peanuts. Bake 4-6 minutes longer or until chocolate is melted. Cool on a wire rack.
3. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in the cereal, vanilla and salt. Carefully spread over brownies. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting. Yield: 3 dozen.
