1 box brownie mix (water, vegetable oil, and eggs called for on box)
1 container vanilla frosting (I used whipped)
3/4 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
3 cups rice krispies cereal
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Directions:
*Heat oven to 350.
*Make brownies as directed for 9x13' pan. 
*Cool completely.
*Frost brownies with frosting. 
*Sprinkle with peanuts
*Refrigerate.
*Meanwhile, put cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
*In a 1 quart saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly.
*Pour over cereal in bowl, stirring until evenly coated.
*Spread over frosted brownies.
*Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set before cutting.
*Store covered in refrigerator.

Personal note:  I doubled the recipe (except for the frosting) in the 9x13 pan so they were taller.
