Peanut Butter Crispy Brownies

"This is an adaptation of a "Brownie Goody Bar" recipe I found on the back of a Better Crocker brownie box a few years ago. We also call them Scotcharoo Brownies, because they have a butterscotch, peanut butter, rice crispy layer on top of a fuggy brownie. This is my family's favorite sweet treat! They are sooo good. I usually wrap them individually in suran wrap and store in the refrigerator so that they do not all get eaten at once. This slows the guys down a little."

  1. It's a rice krispie treat! It's a brownie! It's a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! It's all three in one and this is one dangerous treat! I absolutely love this. It was simple to make and sooooo delicious too. Thanks so much.
     
  2. My family really liked these. They are like a rice crispy treat and brownie in one.
     
  3. These are fantastic bars Cindy. I thank you for posting a great keeper recipe. So easy to make without all the fuss of making your own brownie bottom from scratch. I followed your recipe as written and decided on using the butterscotch chips instead of the p.b. as the previous reviewer had stated. I do believe as she said though that these would be good with any flavor chip incorporated into the p.b. These are not for the weight conscious:-)
     
  4. I fixed this last night and I was very pleased with the results. I like peanut butter a lot, so next time I make this, I am going to use peanut butter chips. Really, give it a peanut butter taste. I guess you could use any flavor of chips ,that suits your taste. Thanks for posting. Bjtaillights.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I grew up on a farm in Southeast Iowa where I learned to garden, cook, and can with my mom. She always told me not to marry a farmer (kidding, of course), but I did in June 2007. Now I have a big garden on our farm and love to cook and can using fresh goodies from the garden. I work full-time, but enjoy helping out on the farm when I can and taking meals to the field to feed the guys during spring planting and fall harvest.
