Peanut Butter Crispy Brownies

Recipe #382974 | 1½ hours | 30 min prep | add private note

By: CindyMarie

This is an adaptation of a "Brownie Goody Bar" recipe I found on the back of a Better Crocker brownie box a few years ago. We also call them Scotcharoo Brownies, because they have a butterscotch, peanut butter, rice crispy layer on top of a fuggy brownie. This is my family's favorite sweet treat! They are sooo good. I usually wrap them individually in suran wrap and store in the refrigerator so that they do not all get eaten at once. This slows the guys down a little.

SERVES 24 , 24 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (22 1/2 ounce) box brownie mix, prepared (I like Betty Crocker Original Supreme)

  • 1 (12 ounce) bag butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal (use 4 cups for a thicker rice crispy layer)

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat oven to 350. Make brownies as directed for a 9 x 13-inch pan. Cool completely.
  2. 2
    Melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a 1-quart saucepan or in a glass bowl in microwave (1 1/2 minutes on high) stirring frequently.
  3. 3
    Stir cereal into peanut putter butterscotch mixture.
  4. 4
    Pour cereal mixture over brownies. Spread evenly.
  5. 5
    Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set before cutting.

    These are fantastic bars Cindy. I thank you for posting a great keeper recipe. So easy to make without all the fuss of making your own brownie bottom from scratch. I followed your recipe as written and decided on using the butterscotch chips instead of the p.b. as the previous reviewer had stated. I do believe as she said though that these would be good with any flavor chip incorporated into the p.b. These are not for the weight conscious

    I fixed this last night and I was very pleased with the results. I like peanut butter a lot, so next time I make this, I am going to use peanut butter chips. Really, give it a peanut butter taste. I guess you could use any flavor of chips ,that suits your taste. Thanks for posting. Bjtaillights.
