- 5 tbsps (71 g) butter
- 3 cups (85 g) Rice Krispies (gluten-free if needed)
Instructions
- Prep Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Base: Whisk sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy, creating a rich foundation for the brownies.
- Develop Chocolate Layer: Integrate dark cocoa powder and salt into the wet mixture, blending until uniformly chocolatey, then fold in chocolate chips for extra depth and texture.
- Initial Bake: Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan, baking for 17 minutes until the surface sets but remains slightly moist.
- Marshmallow Transformation: Blanket the partially baked brownies with mini marshmallows, returning to the oven for 8 minutes to achieve a lightly caramelized, puffy topping.
- Create Crispy Topping: Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between short heating intervals to ensure smooth consistency.
- Finish Topping: Coat Rice Krispies thoroughly with the melted chocolate mixture, creating a crunchy, glossy layer.
- Final Assembly: Spread the chocolate-covered Rice Krispies evenly over the cooled marshmallow surface, allowing the dessert to set completely at room temperature.
