Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies

For starters if you are a chocolate and peanut butter lover looking for a new sweet treat you came to the right spot! 

 

It was just by chance that I made this dessert. I invited my mom and step-father over for dinner for a birthday dinner for my mom.  I had fully intended on making a cake for my mom, but ended up geetting called to sub the night before and didn't have time to do a cake.  I ended up making these amazing peanut butter crunch brownies!  The original recipe can be found at How Sweet It Is Blog.  I did make some changes to the top layer and let me say they were DELICIOUS! I am sure the recipe on her blog is just as amazing because I just changed amounts of ingredients. 

 

 

Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies

Box of your favorite Brownies (or homemade) & ingredients needed on box

1 cup salted peanuts

1 cup crushed Reese Cups

1/2 tbs butter

1 cup peanut butter

1 cup milk chocolate chips

2 cups rice krispie cereal

 

First prepare the boxed brownies as directed on box and spread into a greased 9x13 pan.  Cook as directed on box for a 9x13 pan. (I would start with the minimum time because you want to cook the brownies until they are almost done or barely done)

After the brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle 1 cup peanuts and 1 cup crushed Reese Cups over the prepared brownies.  Return to oven and cook 5 minutes. 

While the brownies are in the oven, melt butter, pb, and milk chocolate chips in microwave starting with 1 minute then stirring.  If not melted continue in melting in 30 second intervals. 

 

Once the delicious peanutbutter gooeyness is mixed add 2 cups of rice krispie cereal and mix well. 

 

Remove the brownies from the oven and spread rice krispie mixture evenly over top.  Refrigerate two hours before cutting and serving. 

 

This delicious dessert is sweet but if you are a peanut butter and chocolate fan I can promise you will NOT be dissapointed.
