I had one request for Mother’s Day yesterday. These Crack Brownies. Brett had every intention of making them for me, but I got impatient and made them Friday night. Half of the pan was gone by Sunday! Oopsie. I first saw this brownies over at Pip & Ebby and have just been dying to try them!
My mom was telling me about these as she was making them a week or so ago. I couldn’t believe all of the stuff that goes into them.
But it’s all stuff I love, so I knew I had to try them.
I’m talking a layer of brownies topped with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Marshmallows and Peanuts….
Topped with a Chocolate-Peanut Butter Rice Krispie layer. Heellloooo?? What’s not to love about ALL OF THAT in every single bite?
Brett and I both agree this Rice Krispie layer, is what makes these brownies crack-like….so dang addicting. Not that we really know a thing about crack.

These rock my world! I love the look of this!
Wow! Love these. They wouldn’t have lasted long here either.
ive been meaning to make these and your post convinced me i need to do it sooner than later!!
Oh Natalie, they are to die for!!!
Oh goodness, do these look good!!!
These look amazing. I’m going to a bon fire with co-workers on Friday and will definitely be making these!
I have some Nutella I’ve been trying to get rid of- so I don’t eat the rest of the jar with a spoon like last time- and I feel like it would taste great added into the Rice Crispie layer.
Definitely the brownie version of crack.
Oooh Nutella would be so good! Let me know how it turns out! I may just have to try it!
Do you use the 9×13 pan size brownie mix, or do you just use a regular brownie mix? I see that it goes into a 9×13 pan, but since you might not want the brownies to be as thick as usual, I can see where you might want to use the smaller size box of mix.
I used a regular sized brownie mix!
These sound & look amazing! I gotta trym!
These were amazing! I have been waiting for an occasion to make these and I was finally able to. Everybody LOVED them! Soooooo good.
So glad you liked them! They are pretty dangerous:)
Gonna make these for my hard-working, nursing student son TODAY!!
Well, I can’t compare them to crack…but they are pretty addicting! 😉 These were so easy to whip up and super tasty, too! Thanks so much for the recipe.~Definitely a keeper!
I love these brownies. I usually leave out the peanuts, but they are good for some crunch. Instead of marshmallows, you can use cream cheese frosting. Yum.

Made them tonight. Very delicious!
Do you use regular marshmallows or mini marshmallows?
These were absolutely phenomenal! I used a box (18.75 oz.) of Ghirardelli Chocolate Supreme brownie mix and baked for 30 minutes. It turned out PERFECT! I made using my brownie edge pan and had my husband take into work to share as well as bring a couple pieces to a coworker who ended up making then that weekend! Very addicting!
Oh my goodness, these look awesome. I will be making them
These are in the oven.. We have a teacher in service tomorrow, we are all so excited to try them!!!
I made these to take to a party tonight. Of course, a good cook always tastes her food, right? They are really good! Next time, I will add a little powdered sugar to the pb mixture. It is overly peanut buttery to us. I give these 4 out of 5 stars!
