#2420 - Brownie Bars

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 box Betty Crocker supreme brownie mix (the kind with the pouch of Hershey's syrup)
1 container Betty Crocker rich and creamy vanilla frosting
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup Jif peanut butter
1 - 12oz. bag Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits

Prepare brownies in a 9 x 13 cake pan as directed on box--cool completely. Frost the brownies with the vanilla frosting. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the top of the frosting. Refrigerate the whole pan. Put the rice krispies in a bowl--set aside. In a saucepan over low heat add peanut butter and chocolate chips--cook/stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat--pour chocolate mixture over the rice krispies--stir until mixed. Remove brownies from refrigerator--spread the rice krispies mixture evenly over the frosting on the brownies. Cool completely. Cut into squares or bars.
