Weekend Cooking--Chocolate Crunch Brownies

If you love chocolate, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, well you might want to try these brownies.

That's it.  That's all I have to say.

You can tell by looking that they are good.

Great for a special picnic or lunch box treat!

I am still 'slowly' making my way thru all of my cookbooks.  This will be cookbook #64.

I have bookmarked many recipes in this cookbook.   Not fancy or done by a celebrate chef--but one can't really go wrong with Taste of Home recipes.  Especially since they are recipes sent in by readers.

Like you. And me.

Chocolate Crunch Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened

• 2 cups sugar

• 4 eggs

• 1/2 cup baking cocoa

• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

• 3 cups crisp rice cereal Directions In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture until blended. Spread into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 24-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool in pan on a wire rack. Spread marshmallow creme over cooled brownies. In a small saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in cereal. Spread over top. Refrigerate until set. Cut into bars. Yield: 3 dozen.
