These chocolate peanut butter brownies are going to be your next favorite dessert.

I made them for my family a couple of weeks ago and they’re still talking about them. To say they were a hit would be a huge understatement.

Everyone just loved the perfect combination of gooey chocolate brownies, sweet marshmallow cream and crunchy peanut butter topping.

The chocolate peanut butter coated Rice Krispies gives these brownies so much delicious flavor and fun texture.

Using a boxed brownie mix is such a nice shortcut and makes the whole dessert super easy to put together.

It’s the perfect little sweet treat to make for any peanut butter lover in your life. Trust me, they’re gonna thank you for it.

I’m telling you, my family could not stop talking about these. They fell in love at first bite.

These would be the perfect thing to make for any important event or holiday but easy enough to put together for a casual after dinner dessert.

I really hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love them just as much as my family and I do.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch Brownies Ingredients

• Ghirardelli Brownie Mix (plus the ingredients to make it)
• Marshmallow Cream (I used Jet Puffed)
• Chocolate Chips
• Peanut Butter
• Rice Krispies Cereal

Instructions

First, make the brownies according to the directions on the package and let them cool.

Now, carefully spread the marshmallow cream evenly on top of the brownies.

Then, in a separate bowl, add the chocolate chips and place them in the microwave to melt. Do this slowly and start with 30 seconds. Give them a stir and then place them back into the microwave for an additional 10 seconds. Stir them again and continue that process until all the chips are melted.

Next, stir the peanut butter into the melted chocolate.

Now, in a large bowl, add the Rice Krispies cereal and pour the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture on top.

Then, stir everything together until the Rice Krispies are completely coated.

Next, evenly spread the mixture over brownies.

Now, place them into the fridge for at least two hours to set.

Finally, cut them into squares, serve and enjoy!
