Rolo Marshmallow Peanut Butter Brownies



I love cereal treats, brownies, caramels, marshmallows and peanut butter. The combination of all of them together may sound strange but it is delicious! It may be one of my favorite brownies ever. Not only are they scrumptious but they are EASY. 

As I still have a basket of Easter candy sitting in my pantry I decided to use what I had and since I was lazy I started with a mix. My favorite brownie mix to use is Ghiradelli but you can use which ever you like



Rolo Marshmallow Chocolate Krispie Brownies

Ingredients:
1 Box of Brownie Mix and ingredients on package
1/2 Bag of Rolo's opened and cut into pieces
1/2 7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff or Marshmallow Easter eggs cut in pieces
2 cups of chocolate chips
1 cup of smooth peanut butter
2 cups of Krispie Rice Cereal

Directions:

Prepare a box of brownies according to the directions on the package. Bake in a 8x8 inch pan lined with foil.  After they are cooked according to the package directions let cool for a few minutes. Pour the marshmallow fluff in a layer over the brownies, and then put a layer of the Rolo's over the top. Return the pan to the oven for a few minutes until the Rolo's melt. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Add the peanut butter and the chocolate chips to a small sauce pan and over low heat melt and combine. Once mixture is melted add the Krispie Rice Cereal and mix well. Pour the mixture over the brownies and spread to cover.

Place pan in refrigerator to cool completely before cutting.


Note: I like the chocolate layer to have more Krispie Rice cereal in it, so I added about another 1/2 cup. I also cooled mine in the freezer for about 20 minutes and then lifted the bars out of the pan by the foil and cut into pieces. Then returned the pan to the refrigerator. I also used chocolate covered marshmallow eggs for the marshmallow layer as I had a bag of them left but marshmallow fluff serves the same purpose. 





These brownies are rich so I recommend cutting them into small squares to serve. I think that you will enjoy the rich chocolate flavor combined with the salty caramel, sweet marshmallows and the krispie peanut crunch.

Triple Chocolate Oreo Bars





Hello! Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend had be just that, an end to your week and a time to relax and rest. I have guest this weekend and I always like to have homemade baked goods for them.







 As I perused Pinterest I found a bar cookie that reminded me of a 7 layer bar that I frequently make, only instead of coconut and graham crackers there were Oreo and two additional kinds of chocolate.






Triple Chocolate Oreo Bars
Adapted from Cookies and Cups

Ingredients:

1 package of Oreo Cookies (16.6) divided 8 for topping
1 stick of melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup of 60% chocolate chips
1 cup melted white chips







Directions:

Heat oven to 325. Line a 9x13 inch pan with foil. Place entire package of Oreo's EXCEPT the 8 set aside and place in food processor or blender and pulse until crushed.

Pour crushed Oreos and melted butter into foil lined pan. Mix well and then press into pan.

In a double boiler, place condensed milk and the 60% chocolate chips, the milk chocolate chips and the vanilla. Melt and mix well.

Pour chocolate mixture over the Oreo crust. Spread evenly. Sprinkle the chocolate filling with 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, and the remaining 8 Oreos, that you have broken into small pieces and the 1/2 cup of 60% chips.

Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool completely. When cooled, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of the bars.

Cut and serve.





These are delicious! Crunchy, chocolaty and tasty.  I hope that you try them and perhaps add your own twist! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! And if you feel like baking a great cake that is not chocolate, come over to Pine Cones and Acorns and check out my Cream Cheese Pound Cake.
