Marshmallow Brownie Bars are so easy to make. The chocolate, chewy, and crispy combination tastes amazing. These make a great treat for a party, for the kids after school snack, or a gift for a friend (you’re a seriously good friend if you give these away).
I had most of the ingredients for the marshmallow brownie bars, so it was easy and inexpensive. I ran to the store and bought a box of brownie mix–the cheapest one they had–and came home and whipped it up.
I did make one mistake on this treat, but it turned out ok. I used a 9″ x 9″ pan, when I should have used a 13″ x 9″ pan. It’s just a little bit too crowded and we don’t want the chocolate to think it can run over the sides. We need every drop in our mouths.
Step 1: Make the store-bought brownies as directed and bake in the oven.
Step 2: Add the marshmallows to the top of the brownies and stick back in the oven to bake for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Melt up the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a saucepan. Once the ingredients are melted, add the crispy rice cereal, and pour over the marshmallows.
Step 4: Place in the refrigerator to harden. As it cools, the marshmallow will bubble up some through the top. It makes it look so enticing when it does.
