Chocolate Crunch Brownies

     Unofficially, these are called Chocolate Rice Krispies Brownies in my house.  As a matter of fact, I had to look up the actual name of them for this recipe!  My mom has made these for as long as I can remember and they are by far my most favorite dessert that she ever made.  Whenever she makes it for a get together, and now myself too, everyone asks for the recipe.  Although there are three different layers to this brownie, they really aren't difficult to make.  WARNING: These are extremely addicting and can cause a mess on your fingers when not kept cool!  I recommend eating them with a fork!

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
6 tbsp. cocoa
1 cup flour
2 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. salt
1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow creme
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

     In an electric mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add in the eggs.  Stir in the cocoa, flour, vanilla, and salt.  Spread into a greased 13 x 9 baking pan.  Bake at 350° for 25 minutes.  Allow to cool completely.  Spread marshmallow creme over cooled brownies.  In a small saucepan, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies.  Spread mixture over the marshmallow layer.  Chill for several hours before cutting.  Store in the refrigerator.
