Marshmallow Krispie Bars


Kind of an unassuming name isn't it. Diabolical doesn't even begin to describe these bars. You have a combination of fudgy brownies, rice krispie treats, and peanut butter, all rolled up into a dessert the likes of which you cannot comprehend until you actually try to combat it's substantial powers. Resistance is futile. Make this dessert and see what I mean. The recipe is from the Favorite Brand Name Bake Sale Cookbook. I doubled the amount of rice krispies but you certainly don't have to.

1 package (19.8 ounces) Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix
1 package (10.5 ounces) miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9x13 inch pan.

Prepare and bake brownies following package directions for fudgy recipe. (Not the cake-like.) Remove from oven. Sprinkle marshmallows on hot brownies. Return to oven. Bake for 3 minutes longer.

Place chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted. Add rice cereal; mix well. Spread mixture over marshmallow layer. Refrigerate until chilled. Cut into bars.

Makes about 2 dozen bars
