Marshmallow Krispie Bars--- A La Amazing

These bars come from the greatest dessert cookbook ever, The Favorite Brand  Name Bake Sale Cookbook.  What makes it so great?  THE PICTURES!  One giant full color shot  on every page.   The recipes are pretty good too.   Vanessa’s renter, once upon a time, lent her the book and they made these.  She showed the book to me on a visit and I copied this recipe and a few others down.  She then bought it for me for Christmas.  Thank You Vanessa!  The book even has gold leafing on the pages’ edges. 

1 package (19.8 ounces) Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix

1 package (10.5 ounces) miniature Marshmallows

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal

1.   Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease bottom of 13 X 9 inch pan. 

2.  Prepare and bake brownies following package directions for basic recipe.  Remove from oven.  Sprinkle marshmallows on hot brownies.  Return to oven.  Bake for 3 minutes longer. 

3.  While brownies and marshmallows are cooling, place chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter in medium saucepan.  Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chips are melted.  (I do this part in the microwave)  Add rice cereal: mix well.  Spread mixture over marshmallow layer.  Refrigerate until chilled.  Cut into bars.
