Peanut butter and chocolate – a match made in heaven, right? Well if you are any kind of a peanut butter lover you will LOVE these brownies. They are chocolate-y and rich and totally delicious!
It was Teacher Appreciation Week last week last week and my kids wanted to take some brownies to their teachers. We found these great tags and they made the perfect gift.
Brownies are always a favorite in my house but then add a thick layer of peanut butter, chocolate fudgey goodness and oh man. I was in heaven!
Peanut Butter Cup Crunch Brownies
Source: Slightly adapted from Once Upon A Chocolate Life
* 1 box of family size brownie mix (9 x 13)
* ingredients needed to make brownies
* 10 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
* 1 bag (11.5 ounces) milk chocolate chips
* 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
* 2 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Chop up the Reese’s Peanut Butter cups. Yum! This was pretty tempting for this peanut butter cup lover – so I cut up 12 instead. (And ate 2 while I was baking.) =o)
Make brownies according to package. Bake for 5 minutes less than the package states. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups over the top. Return to the oven and cook for 4-5 minutes.
In a saucepan, add chocolate chips and peanut butter and cook over low heat. Stir until melted and blended well. Add rice krispies and stir well.
Pour the rice krispie mixture over the brownies and and spread evenly. Let cool for a few minutes and then place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
I don’t even have words….
