How to Make Chocolate Crunch Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  7. Spread 1 cup marshmallow creme evenly over the cooled brownies.
  8. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  9. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal (or your favorite crunchy cereal).
  10. Spread the peanut butter-chocolate-cereal mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the topping to set before cutting into squares.
