Taste Of Home Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Bars

I made this dessert for Robby using a gluten-free brownie mix and let me tell you I could not keep him away from these bars. He said it was the best dessert he has had since having to be gluten-free. Now that says a lot as Robby does not get excited over many dishes. And because it was only Robby and me home I cut the recipe in half and made it in an 8 x 8 baking dish.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 package fudge brownie mix (13×9 inch pan size) gluten-free mix works great.
• 2 1/2 cups peanut butter, chunky or creamy. I used creamy, divided
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, I used Enjoy Life brand
• 3 cups Rice Krispie cereal

DIRECTIONS

Prepare and bake brownie mix according to package directions. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold.

Spread 1 1/2 cups peanut butter over the brownie. Place chocolate chips and remaining peanut butter in a large microwave-safe dish. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal and spread over the peanut butter layer. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until set.

Cut into squares and serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
