"These are for all lovers of brownies, rocky road, marshmallows and even rice crispie squares...decadent heaven in a bar. It is different from a couple of other recipes in using real chocolate YAY :) and has even more chocolate chips..oh so good..jcomes from http://www.eatmedelicious.com where they give a tip for vegans since marshmallows have gelatin, use marshmallow fluff."

- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate

directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate, butter, and 3/4 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips on medium heat. Stir occasionally while melting. Set aside and cool for 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, place the eggs and whisk thoroughly. Add in the sugar and vanilla. Stir the melted ingredients into the egg mixture, mixing well. Stir in the dry sifted ingredients and mix well. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and even with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the corner of the pan comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownies from the oven, and immediately sprinkle the marshmallows over them. Return the pan to the oven for 3 more minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, place the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat, add the cereal,and mix well. Allow this to cool for 3 minutes or so.
- Spread the mixture evenly over the marshmallow layer. Refrigerate until chilled before cutting. Makes 12 3×3-inch bars.

OH MY these are sinful LOL There is something wrong with the ingredient list that needs fixed. It says the butter is divided but it isn't in the directions . I do believe it should be the choc chips that say divided BUT I had to do some subbing . I thought I had chocolate chips but only had maybe 3/4 cup. So I subbed in squares of baking chocolate ( I weighed 1/2 cup of the chips to get ounces and just winged it to get about the same in chocolate squares) It worked for me LOL Then since it has been so humid my minis were stuck together so I used mostly a freshly bought bag of flavoured minis ( that worked ) Honestly think a square measuring 3x3 is to big. These are very rich so a much smaller square is great. They can be very tricky to get out of the pan . We cut the whole pan into quarters lifted a quarter out and placed on a cutting board to cut smaller squares. The brownie bottom is chewy and fudgy with the sweet gooey marshamllow layer and then followed by that heavenly choc/peanutbutter crispy layer. The top choclate layer can be a bit tricky to spread so make sure you drizzle it over all very well. Made for Everyday is a Holiday Tag

I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more.
I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking.
My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly
