Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup smooth peanut butter
• 2 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups crispy rice cereal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over for easy removal.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is smooth and glossy.

Step 4

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 6

While the brownies are baking, place the peanut butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20-30 seconds until smooth and spreadable.

Step 7

Once the brownies are out of the oven, immediately spread the warm peanut butter evenly over the surface. Scatter the mini marshmallows on top and gently press them down with a spatula.

Step 8

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated.

Step 9

Carefully spread the chocolate cereal mixture over the marshmallows, creating an even layer. Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until set.

Step 10

Use the parchment paper edges to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
