These Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Brownies are the ultimate dessert! They are a peanut butter cup, chocolate chip brownie, topped with a chocolate, peanut butter, krispy rice mixture. To say they are delicious would be an understatement.
Hello, friends! Sorry for the little MIA-ness going on the past few days. I got back from California and didn’t want to let go of vacation mode I guess. Can you blame me though? Try 75 degree weather, hanging out with family, and Disneyland – my favorite place on this entire planet. Now it’s back to laundry, dishes, and missing my husband while he’s at work. 😉
Anyway, I thought to celebrate coming back from vacay, I’d share with you one awesome dessert that you are going to want to make right away – these Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Brownies. A few months ago, our Sunday school teacher in church brought these to share with the class and I knew I needed the recipe right away! I got it, made them, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since. Try chocolate, Reese’s peanut butter cups and rice krispies, all nestled atop a chocolate peanut butter brownie. Umm, yes please. I can hear them calling my name!

Holy moly! These sound sooooo good!!!
No wonder you couldn’t stop thinking about these babies! They sound delicious. Hope you had a wonderful vacation!
These are SOOO good! I have to limit how often I make these, because they are VERY addicting! 🙂 But in a good way, ha.
Wow do these look delicious!! Pretty much my favorite things wrapped up into one recipe!
These look amazing! I will have to make them next time we are having people over. They look to dangerous to have around without people to help eat them!
Please tell me how you cut these so beautifully!
Haha cut them while they’re cold and clean your knife after each cut. 🙂 Hope this helps!
Can’t wait to make this, however, in the directions, #7 “Which in eggs”. What does that mean?
Sorry, it was suppose to say “whisk”. I have updated it for ya! XO
Thanks, I was trying to come up with what you meant, never thought of whisk. Will be making these very soon!
I made these for my 3rd round of our church’s friendly Bake-Off Competition and won! They were a hit! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
