Triple-Tier Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

20 ounces fudge brownie mix (or size required for 13x9-inch size pan)
11 1/2 ounces milk chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups crisp rice cereal
16 ounces cream cheese frosting
1 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Preparation

Prepare and bake brownie mix according to directions, using a greased 13 x 9\" baking pan. Cool on a wire rack.
Spread the cream cheese frosting over the brownies.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
In a large saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and peanut butter. Cook over LOW heat for approximately 4-5 minutes or until blended, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in cereal. Spread over the cream cheese frosting and chopped peanuts.
Chill for 30 minutes or until set before cutting.
Store in refrigerator.
NOTE: I used a dark chocolate fudge brownie mix, and I also had only half of the milk chocolate chips required so I used semi-sweet chips for the remainder.
