My friend Cheri dropped off a plate of these brownies at our house on Sunday. They are OMG out-of-this-world delicious. She was given the recipe by a co-worker, Amy, for publication in the upcoming Hospice of Northwest Michigan cookbook…which I’ll certainly be purchasing for holiday gifts.
Not only are these brownies tasty, I like it that the recipe makes a 9×13″ pan of goodies that, in turn, must be cut in very small pieces because it’s so rich…so the result will feed a gang. Be sure to store them in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
1 batch brownies (boxed mix or your favorite recipe)
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 Tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Mix brownies according to directions. Bake for 20-25 minutes in a 9 x 13″ baking dish (prepared according to the directions on your brownie recipe).
Remove from oven and top with peanuts and chopped peanut butter cups. Bake an additional 4-6 minutes.
While they finish baking, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Stir in cereal (do not skip the cereal, it does add a lot to the recipe). Remove brownies from the oven and spread chocolate mixture over top.
Refrigerate at least two hours until set. You will probably need to keep these refrigerated.
Enjoy!
