Brownie Krispies

I had the hardest time finding vegetarian marshmallows, actually I couldn't find them locally.  I used marshmallow fluff, but I think it made it to sweet.  Mike and Hailee really liked it, but I thought it was too rich.  I am going to keep a look out for vegetarian marshmallows and try again.

1 box brownie mix + additional ingredients to bake brownies according to package directions or you can make homemade here is Hailee's homemade brownies (which are really good).

4 cups vegetarian mini marshmallows or marshmallow fluff

1 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoon butter

2 cups crispy rice cereal

Bake brownies according to package directions in a greased 9×13″ baking pan.  Two minutes before they are supposed to be baked, pull brownies from the oven and sprinkle marshmallows across top.  Return to oven for 2 minutes to soften marshmallows.  Remove from oven and spread marshmallows across top of brownies.  Let cool completely.  Unless, you are using the marshmallow fluff you need to let the brownies cool completely and then spread it on and I didn’t put it back in the oven because it didn’t need to be softened.

Prepare crispy topping:  combine chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a bowl.  Heat in microwave for 30 seconds at a time until mixture is melted and smooth.  Add cereal and stir to coat.  Pour over marshmallow layer and spread evenly.   

Place brownies in the refrigerator for at least an hour until chilled.  This helps make them easy to cut and makes them a little less messy to eat.  Make with marshmallows instead of the fluff and enjoy!
