Everything that's irresistible about a candy bar just got rolled into one recipe—brownies on the bottom, frosting and peanuts in the middle and crunchy cereal on top.
Ingredients
- 1
- box (1 lb 2.4 oz) Betty Crocker™ Original Supreme Premium brownie mix
- Water, vegetable oil and egg called for on brownie mix box
- 1
- cup Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting (from 16 oz container)

- 2
- cups crisp rice cereal
- 2/3
- cup creamy peanut butter

- cups (8 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- 1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 9-inch square pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.)
- 2 Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely.
- 3 Frost brownies with frosting. Sprinkle with peanuts; refrigerate while making cereal mixture.
- 4 Measure cereal into medium bowl; set aside. In 1-quart saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour over cereal in bowl, stirring until evenly coated. Spread over frosted brownies. Refrigerate 1 hour or until set before cutting. For bars, cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.
