Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Brownies
Happy Friday, friends! So glad the weekend is almost here. If you are a fan of chewy, gooey, chocolaty and peanut buttery, you are going to love these peanut butter Rice Krispy treat topped brownies!
These are so dangerously simple. It’s a soft and gooey brownie layer topped with a supremely chewy peanut butter Rice Krispy treat layer for an ultra chocolaty, ultra peanut buttery, ultra munchable brownie delight.
Hoe to Make These Rice Krispie Brownies
To make, just prepare a batch of your favorite brownies – I used a box of Ghirardelli brownie mix – they are so wonderfully rich!
And as soon as they come out of the oven, you can start your peanut butter Rice Krispy treats! Combine sugar and corn syrup in a heavy bottomed sauce pan (Sir Mix-a-Lot style) over high heat.
When it comes to a boil, remove it from the heat…
And add insanely indulgent amounts of peanut butter.
Stir well.
Now add your Rice Krispies to a big bowl…
And pour on the peanut buttery goodness.
Stir to combine…
And immediately press on top of the brownies.
Oh! Btw, I hardly ever, ever line my baking dishes with foil (I’m normally way to lazy to be bothered..), but you’ll probably want to for these. It’s really the only way to get them out so you can cut into these babies! :)
That’s it!! Can you believe how quick and easy these went together? Definitely dangerous for such a delicious delight.
Since I used an 8×8 brownie mix (instead of a 9×13 brownie mix) I had a little of the peanut butter krispy treats left over. Aww. What ever am I going to do?
I’m still wringing my hands with worry over that one. Snort.

Wow this is such a creative recipe! Beautiful pictures by the way! :)
Your pics are almost sexual!!!
Wow! Chocolate, peanut butter, rice krispies and brownies??? Get outta here! I’m bookmarking this now! Not sure how I haven’t seen your food blog before now. Great recipes, great photography, great writing!
I made these last night & they were so good. I actually made the brownies from scratch though & it was incredibly rich, which was good because it stops me from eating the entire batch of them. lol.
I’m planning on making your Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cupcakes for Thanksgiving with the future Brother in law & his wife. :)
I linked you to my page, I hope you don’t mind. :] You’ve inspired me so much, you can tell just by looking at my blog. LOL!
Thank you AMANDA! ♥
Those look tasty. My favorite bit of the post though? Where you snorted! I love that you’re so down to earth and sassy. Keeps me coming back for more. I am so going to make these for Thanksgiving for the office.
Umm…YES PLEASE!!!
I made these treats for our tailgate at Auburn Univeristy. They were so great – however – we left our tent set up during the game and when we returned – not only was my good glass casserole dish gone but so were all of my 100 brownie – krispy treats!!!! They must have been REALLY REALLY good! I didnt even get one!
Oh my goodness – it’s almost 10pm and I want to rush into the kitchen and make these!
Just wanted to tell you that I made your Cookies & Cream Fudge Brownies and they were a hit at work!!! I’ve had to make them 2 weeks in a row cause people can’t get enough of them!!! They have even inspired a Dessert Day @ work….Thanks for making me awesome!!!
OK sooooo, I just made them………..YUM YUM YUM!!!!!! How wonderful they are…. my company just loved them too and I am making them again next week for Thanksgiving…..Thanks sooooo much Amanda….
These look amazing! I can’t wait to make them! On another note, you have created a monster! I’ve always been a snob about candles – you know, had to have the expensive ones – but now, thanks to you, I pick up a candle or two every time I go to Walmart and I’m loving them! Right now I have a hazelnut creme burning in my kitchen – yum! – and I love the mulling cider candle. Thanks!
Amanda! I made these yesterday for the game and they were delicious! People went crazy over them!! And they were really easy to make, too! Thanks for the recipe!
Ok, girlfriend. I made those Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cupcakes and all of my friends and family think I am a rockstar (I had to credit you, don’t worry!). What will they think after I make these??!! You’re the BEST!!!
These look so good I can barely type. I NEED to make these asap!!
Do you even know how much you are making my taste buds holler right now? They are saying “I want some of those brownies!”
I am definitely saving this recipe for my next baking extravaganza! They look scrumdillyumptious!
Yummy!
I
MUST
Try!
well aren’t your photos to die for? do you get theft? I get so much theft its unreal. i found you via Jenny. I love your blog…your photos are amazing.
great work!
so scrumptious! :) your photos are amazing!
They look sinful! Can you substitute marshmallows (the original Rice Krispie Treats recipe) for the corn syrup?
my family has made rice krispies sort of like these for years! we just put melted chocolate and butterscotch chips on top instead of brownies on bottom. but you can bet i will be trying these babies!
I see all of these fabulously rich desserts you post on here, and I know you recently lost weight. Are you just not keeping these in the house, or are you one of those people with incredible will power. What’s the deal? :)
Normally I am so on board with you. I love PB, rice crispy treats and brownies (not necessarily in that order :)) But these don’t look or sound good. I can’t imagine these mixtures of texture.
OMGosh these look sooooooooo yummie!!!! And a good way to gain weight too! (lucky me I have to gain some LOL!)
Thanks for sharing :)
Love from Holland

OH MY GOODNESS. Added this to my recipes! These look so yummy!
Oh. My. Gosh.
yummm.(:
I will have to make these for Thanksgiving. They look yummy-o-shish. Could you send me one to sample through the lines ? LOL. I just want to know your secret for staying so slim and making all these goodies. I’d be chowing down on them and finishing them off in a day. Thanks for sharing. You always have the best photos of your yummies. They make me soo hungry. I’ll have to go eat a mini hershey bar dipped in peanut butter. :D Love your website. ((Hugs)), Becky
Yum 2 the yum! I will have to whip some of these up… oh wait, I don’t cook. Oh well… I can droll! :)
make that drool… hee hee! C I don’t need sugar!
So…I LOVE chocolate and peanut butter together!! I’m totally making these tonight to take to my stitch and bitch tomorrow. :D
I was wondering though, you have a jar of chocolate topping in your photo of ingredients….but it’s not in your recipe. What do you use that for? Topping? :D
Good observation KarrieLyne!
Okay I just need some clarification before I indulge my husband and I with this wonderful treat….
Do you cook the brownies first, then layer it with the rice krispy treats? Or bake them together?
Thanks for sharing such delicious food and treats! :)
Amanda, where do you come up with these things? So creative! Ghirardelli brownies are my favorite. They have just come out with a cake/cupcake mix…triple chocolate. It’s incredible. Here’s my review and more info about it if your interested. Perhaps you can turn the cake mix into something even more amazing! http://liliannagrace.blogspot.com/2010/11/menu-monday-millionaires-spinach-salad.html
OH MY!!!!! Those look sooo yummy. I just (yesterday) made a box of those Gharadelli brownies….my goodness are they wonderful… can’t wait to try them with the peanut butter rice krispies on top….. Thanks sooooooooooooooo much Amanda for this great – fun – fun – fun website….I love it…
That’s so funny, I just HAPPEN to buy the same exact brownie mix couple days ago. This sounds so yummy, will need to give it a try!
Okay. Enough. I love your weightloss story. Then you proceed to introduce all of these AWESOME recipes! How can you do both and be successful? How do you stay so skinny?
I would really love to know.
I’ve made a similar recipe years ago. I think it had chocolate on top also, from melted choc. chips or something. I noticed the the jar of Smuckers ice cream topping in your ingredients pic, was that used in the brownies or did you put it on top of the bars after the last pic?! : )
Beautiful photos! :)
YUM! I’m so glad I don’t live near you! ;o)))
My family will love these! Thanks! Your pictures are great, too. What camera do you have?
Oh my Amanda these look so amazing! I just love all of your food posts and your pictures that go with them. I have made several of your recipes for my family of six and we have loved them all. I am running to the store right now to get the “goods” to make these for an after school treat. Thanks for everything you do!!
Just thought I would give you an another way to make the peanut butter rice krispies…just put the sugar, karo, and peanut butter in a bowl and microwave it for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Then stir in the rice krispies. These are the only kind of rice krispies I make at my house!
Dear Ms. Amanda,
Please stop posting food! I have to workout for 1 hour after just looking at your post!
Love
Nancy
P.S. Not really, just kidding, keep on posting them! Love it!
Amanda!
AManda!

You make everything look yummy and DREAMY!

For years I have been making the peanut butter krispies, with melted chocolate and butterscoth chip drizzled all over the top, love them. I will definitely be giving this a go :)
Now I have drool all over my keyboard and I am at work so can’t whip these up at this time…
These look so good! Our HS football team is in playoffs. My daughter is on the dance team and we always put together goodie bags every week. It’s too late for this week, but I am definitely making these for next week!
Josh is allergic to PB so I guess I will have to eat the whole pan by myself. Darn:) Love these!
Looks delicious – I will have to try! I must ask, what camera do you use? your photography makes everything look extra yummy. My picture never come out like that!
Amanda, these just look delish. I made some other brownies last night and was just not “in love” with them! These are next to try :)
This is beyond yummie! Will try it out tonight for sure! *
Also, I am having LANVIN SHIRT GIVEAWAY on my blog, so stop by and enter if you like!
All the best!

GORGEOUS with a capital G! Love the photos and love the brownies girl!! Mmmmmm!
I make some brownies like these – the better-than-crack brownies. They are to die for. In my opinion, anything with chocolate and peanut butter is a lethal combination.
Wow! Amanda these look amazing! And they include all my favorite things!!
Those are my favorite box brownies! And who doesn’t love rice krisy treats!
