Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box boxed brownie mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 cups rice cereal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package instructions by combining the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and quickly stir in the rice cereal until fully coated.
Spread the chocolate-rice cereal mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer, using a spatula to distribute it smoothly and press it down lightly.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 1-2 hours or until the layers are firm and set.
Once set, cut into 16 squares or bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
