- 3 cups Rice Krispies

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Mix the brownie mix with 2 eggs, ⅓ cup oil, and water according to package instructions. Reduce oil by 20%.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-28 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Open the 7 oz jar of marshmallow cream. Spread it evenly across the cooled brownie surface using an offset spatula.
- Combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate and peanut butter mixture for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
- Add 3 cups Rice Krispies to the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture. Stir until cereal is fully coated.
- Carefully spread the chocolate-peanut butter crunch layer over the marshmallow layer, creating an even surface.
- Refrigerate the dessert for 2-3 hours until the top layer is completely set and firm.
- Remove from refrigerator and cut into 16-20 rectangular bars using a sharp knife.
- Serve chilled or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Reduce oil in brownies for a slightly healthier twist that keeps the rich, fudgy texture intact.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to slice clean, precise bars without dragging the layers.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular brownie mix with gluten-free mix and use gluten-free Rice Krispies.
- Let bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften the chocolate layer slightly and enhance flavor blending.
