Preparation

Step 1

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350. Line an 8×8 inch pan with foil and spray heavily with cooking spray.
For the brownie batter, melt milk chocolate chips with butter. Stir together until combined. Pour into a large bowl and add sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix well. In another bowl add flour, salt, and baking soda and whisk to combine. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes, then remove from oven.
While brownie batter is baking, prepare the peanut butter batter by mixing together peanut butter, sugar, and rice crispy cereal. Add egg and vanilla and mix until well combined. Use a tablespoon to scoop peanut butter batter and drop mounds onto partially baked brownie layer. (I dropped my peanut butter scoops in rows) Sprinkle any extra batter over the top. Return to oven and bake about 35 minutes or until mixture seems to be mostly set. (It center should still be a little gooey.) Allow to cool completely.
Melt together ¼ cup chocolate chips and ¼ cup peanut butter and stir until smooth. Spread mixture over cooled brownies. Chill 1 hour before cutting into “bites” or bars. Store in fridge in airtight container.
