How to Make Better Than Crack Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, ¾ cup water, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Mix until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and evenly distribute ½ cup salted peanuts and 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups over the warm brownies.
- Bake for an additional 4-6 minutes.
- While brownies bake, prepare the topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ¼ cup peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal until combined.
- Remove brownies from the oven and immediately pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the top. Spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the brownies to set completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
