Time 3h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 box (18.3 oz) Betty Crocker™ fudge brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box
2 tablespoons chocolate-flavor syrup
3/4 cup butter
8 cups mini marshmallows, from 2 (10 oz) bags
3/4 cup crunchy or creamy peanut butter
10 cups Rice Chex™ cereal
2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray.
  • Make brownie batter as directed on box. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
  • Using fork, break apart brownies into small pieces. Place brownies in large bowl. Stir in chocolate syrup until brownies are moistened. Set aside.
  • Spray another 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
  • In 6-quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until completely melted and mixture is well blended, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter until melted. Add cereal; mix well. Using a spatula sprayed with cooking spray, press half of cereal mixture evenly in bottom of pan.
  • Top cereal layer with reserved brownie mixture; press to make a lightly packed brownie layer. Spoon remaining cereal mixture over top, and spread to cover brownie layer, pressing firmly for an even top. Cool 15 minutes.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and 1/2 teaspoon oil uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over bars. Refrigerate about 40 minutes or until chocolate is set. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover brownie batter, but they're not my favorite dessert. I found them to be a bit too sweet and dense.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think they would be better if they were made with a different type of brownie batter.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I still really enjoyed these bars. The chocolate flavor is really strong and the peanut butter adds a nice touch of sweetness.
