How to Make Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars Decadent

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle 1 (11-ounce) bag of miniature marshmallows over the warm cake.
Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until marshmallows are slightly melted.
Using a knife dipped in water, gently spread the melted marshmallows evenly across the surface.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
**For the topping:** In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ cup creamy peanut butter, and 2 tablespoons butter.
Stir constantly until the chocolate and peanut butter are melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal until well coated.
Spread the chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the cooled marshmallow layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the topping to set completely before cutting into bars.
Cut into 3 dozen bars.
