Better-Than-Crack Brownies
Okay, stop licking your computer screen....
...seriously, it can't be healthy!
I have no words.
But, I'll try to convey my love for these to you.
I'm sold on a recipes picture. Aren't we all? We see it, we want to eat it, we make it. Well, I saw these, read the list of ingredients and knew I had to make them. Immediately.
Give me a brownie and I'm happy.
But give me a brownie with pieces of peanut butter cups, topped with Rice Krispies mixed with melted chocolate and peanut butter and I'm in sugar heaven.
Unless your middle name is Will-Power prepare yourself to be seriously addicted. These are sinfully delicious.
But, like Jessica, from How Sweet It Is says, it's all in the name of chocolate!
Amen.
Better-Than-Crack Brownies
Adapted from: How Sweet It Is
Ingredients
1 batch brownies (boxed mix)
1/2 cup salted peanuts (if don’t have salted, add sea salt)
1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon butter
3 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Directions
Mix brownies according to directions, and bake for 20-25 minutes in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Remove from the oven and top with chopped peanuts and peanut butter cups and bake for 4-6 minutes.
While they are finishing baking, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Stir in cereal. Remove brownies from oven and evenly pour chocolate mixture over top. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
These really are as good as they look!
