A brownie topped with marshmallows and a crunchy chocolate, peanut butter & butterscotch layer!
A friend of mine had these brownies at a party and was telling me about them. So of course I had to try them out! You could make a homemade brownie on the bottom, but I took the easy way and used a mix. Plus you are adding 2 more layers so it cuts down on the work for you and I think it tastes just as good. I tried the version with marshmallow creme instead of the miniature marshmallows but I prefer the actual marshmallows. The top is my favorite! The butterscotch/chocolate/peanut butter crunch is what makes these brownies to die for!
These brownies need to be chilled in the fridge. The chocolate needs to set up before serving/cutting but I promise the wait is worth it.
Hurry and make these brownies! And let me know what you think!
Crunch Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (18.9 ounce) made according to package directions*
- 3 cups miniature marshmallows
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
- ¾ cup butterscotch chips
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Grease an 11x7 inch pan. Make brownies according to package directions. Bake for 28-31 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of the brownies cooking time, remove from the oven and sprinkle the marshmallows over the top. Return to the oven and cook for 2 more minutes. (I baked for 29 min. then added the marshmallows for the last 2 min.)
- While the brownies are cooling, melt the chocolate chips & butterscotch chips in the microwave or over the stove top according to the package directions. (I just microwave and stop to stir every 20 seconds until melted.) Once melted, stir in the peanut butter and rice cereal. Let it cool slightly then gently spoon and spread over the cooled marshmallow layer.
- Let the brownies set up in the fridge. Once the chocolate is firm, cut & enjoy! These are best served cold. Store covered in the refrigerator.
Notes
*I used the triple chunk brownie box mix. It's my favorite because it has chunks of chocolate in it, of course 🙂 Also, you can make these with a 8x8 or 9x9 dish, they will just be a bit thicker and you will need to cook a little longer (just follow the box recommendation, adding the mallows for the last 2 minutes.)

In the picture it doesn’t look like chocolate was used in the crunch layer. The recipe is also missing where the butterscotch come into play.
I fixed the recipe to read melt the chocolate chips & butterscotch chips together. In the picture, the crunch layer has milk chocolate chips & butterscotch chips melted together so it is a lighter color than just melted chocolate. Hope that helps!
