Over the Top Brownies

April is my favorite month.  Besides the return of baseball, tulips, & spring....it’s my birthday month.  When I read the ingredients for these brownies my mouth was watering.  All of my favorite sugar items together in one bar!  This is what I picked this year for my Birthday dessert.   Sean is getting off a little easy since it does start out with a “box” mix but it looked soooo good I could not passed it up.   We will see if it replaces last year’s ...Chocolate Raspberry Rum Cake.  Also wondering if I can wait the “2 hours” though that will be tough!

Over the Top Brownies

~comes from Marcia & Tony Wilson

1 batch brownies (your favorite box mix)

½ cup salted peanuts

1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups

1 ½ cup milk chocolate chips

1 ½ cup creamy peanut butter

½ tablespoon butter

1 ½ cups Rice Krispies Cereal

Mix brownies according to directions, and bake for 20 – 25 minutes in a 9 X 13 baking dish.  Remove & top with peanuts & peanut butter cups, bake for 4 – 6 minutes more.

While they are finishing baking, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter & butter.  Stir in cereal.  Remove brownies from oven & evenly pour chocolate mixture over the top.

Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

Tupps Tidbits ~ Freeze the peanut butter cups for easy chopping

OK, so I was like a little kid, asking every 15 minutes are they done yet?   And everyone that knows me knows that if it involves chocolate I can not restrain myself & I have no self control.

I could not wait the 2 hours; Sean chose to freeze the dessert to speed up the process! LOL!  These brownies are awesome & extremely rich, proceed with caution!

KEEPER MOST DEFINITELY!
