Better-Than-Crack Brownies

So I made these brownies to thank everyone in my office for helping me so much the last few weeks with my big project and they were a hit! I think they would be a great party food because you can cut them into bite size pieces and they will go a long way. They are very delicious but they are also very sweet so I think bite sized would be a great idea. LOL

Ingredients:

• 1 batch brownies (I used a boxed mix)
• 1/2 cup salted peanuts (I added about 3/4 cup to mine)
• 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (I added a little over a cup to mine and I used the off brand Walmart peanut butter cups to cut down on the price and they still were delicious)
• 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

Instructions:

1. Mix brownies according to directions, and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 9 x 13 baking dish. 
2. Remove from oven and top with peanuts and peanut butter cups, and bake for 4-6 minutes more.
3. While they are finishing baking, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter (I just melted mine in the microwave). Stir in cereal. Remove brownies from oven and evenly pour chocolate mixture over top.
4. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. (I didn't put mine in the fridge but I will next time.)
