Better Than Crack Brownies

So this recipe has been gaining popularity over the last few weeks. I have been seeing it everywhere so I decided it was time to try it for myself.  I also had all the ingredients in my pantry just waiting to be used.  I still had leftover marshmallows, Rice Krispies, and peanuts, as well as lots of those Reece's Christmas tree leftover from Christmas.   So I gathered all the ingredients and went to work!  I used the Oooey Goooey Fudgey Brownie recipe from How Sweet It Is because it had marshmallows in the batter and with a name like that, I had to try it!  Its kinda magical because all the marshmallows disappear in the oven and leaves you with a fluffy fudgey delicious brownie.  Anyways, the brownie recipe alone is ridiculously amazing, but with all the other goodies on top, it becomes better then crack status!  Once you try these, i don't think you will ever want to eat regular brownies again!  Its not much more work, but yet the outcome is triple the taste!  You get the crunch from the Rice Krispies and peanuts, as well as a creamy peanut butter from the middle layer of Reece's!  You really cant go wrong, and I am sure this will be a hit wherever you serve it!  I hope this encourages all you bakers out there to try this recipe!!
