How to Make Butterscotch Krispie Marshmallow Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. **Brownie Layer:** Prepare your brownie batter according to package directions if using a mix (e.g., Ghirardelli Triple Chocolate). If making from scratch, follow your favorite recipe.
  3. Pour brownie batter into a foil-lined and greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. The brownies will be slightly underbaked; this is intentional.
  5. **Marshmallow Layer:** Remove the pan from the oven and evenly cover the warm brownies with 1 (10-ounce) bag of mini marshmallows.
  6. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed and lightly golden.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  8. **Butterscotch Krispie Topping:** In a medium saucepan over low to medium heat, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Stir until smooth, leaving some peanut butter texture if desired.
  9. Stir in 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  10. Spread the butterscotch Krispie mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the topping is set and firm.
  12. To serve, use a butter knife or a knife that's been brushed with oil to cut the brownies.
