Ingredients

• 1 box boxed brownie mix
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 0.75 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1.5 cups rice cereal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package instructions by combining the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.

Step 3

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 4

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled brownies.

Step 6

In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Remove the melted chocolate mixture from the heat and quickly stir in the rice cereal until fully coated.

Step 8

Spread the chocolate-rice cereal mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer, using a spatula to distribute it smoothly and press it down lightly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the bars for at least 1-2 hours or until the layers are firm and set.

Step 10

Once set, cut into 16 squares or bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
