Family Reunion Brownies
A few years ago we had a family reunion. These brownies were one of the many delights there. These brownies are one of the many reasons I love my family.
Start with your favorite brownie recipe baked in a 9×13 pan. This can be from scratch or a box. Really, with what we’re about to do to these brownies, it’s going to be delicious to matter what you use.
Once the brownies are cool, spread a large bottle of marshmallow cream on top. YES!! After many tries, I discovered the best method is; to scrub my hands down, spray them with a little non-stick spray, and use my lathered hands to spread the cream. If you’re worried about the taste from the spray, a little water on your hands instead will also work.
Now, melt 2 C chocolate chips and 1 C peanut butter (combine them and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each. This should take about 1 1/2-2 minutes) . You really can’t go wrong with that combination in a recipe. Use whatever kind of chocolate chips you like. I used 1C mini semi-sweet and 1 C bittersweet, because that’s what I had on hand. Now stir in 3C crispy rice cereal.
Spread this on top of the marshmallow cream. Can you see now why I love my family?
Let this set in the refrigerator for at least three hours. That’s it! These are AMAZING!!
Brownies are one of my most favourite treats to share with my friends and are a fantastic treat for my friend’s kids – saying that all of my friends will always have a bite.
I love making and sharing brownies. They are especially popular amongst my friends’ children (and their mums:))
Making these today. Wish me luck!
I am so going to try these! My niece and nephew will love them! I don’t know why, but I can’t make a simple batch of boxed brownies and leave it alone. I always have to jazz it up with something — cream cheese and toasted coconut, mimi M&Ms, loads of nuts, chocolate chips and toffee bits, etc. This recipe sounds like a winner! Thanks for sharing.
