DevilBars



Lawsy mercy this is one of my all-time favorite dessert bars. One of the ladies who works here at church brought these for a funeral luncheon, and made extra. After one bite of these devil bars (she called them goody bars, but they are of the devil I tell ya--pure sin) I knew these would be in my life forever. I love them. This takes every thing you love about a candy bar and rolls it up with a brownie bonus. There are three layers to this bar, the first of which is a super dense and delicious brownie, the second a nut studded frosting, and the third a crispy fudge filling. The fudge layer reminded me of no bake cookies with crispy cereal instead of oatmeal. I would say that you should make these immediately, they are delicious, especially if there is a diet you want to destroy! There's not much more I can say other than..I'm going to go get one more!!

1 box Betty Crocker Original Supreme Brownie Mix (1 pound 6.5 oz.) plus ingredients called for on package. (I always substitute milk for the specified water)
1 pound tub vanilla frosting (I like the Betty Crocker Rich & Creamy frosting), or homemade
3/4 cup chopped pecans, or salted peanuts chopped.
3 cups Crisp Rice Cereal (i.e. Rice Krispies)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, just get one bag and call it a day.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Make brownies according to package directions (for the 9x13 pan). When done set aside to cool one hour or over night.
  3. Frost cooled brownies with frosting, sprinkle on nuts and place in refrigerator while making the fudge crispies.
  4. Measure cereal in to a large bowl, set aside.
  5. In a medium size sauce pan melt peanut butter and chips over low meat until completely melted. Pour over crispies and turn to coat and combine completely.
  6. Pour over frosted brownies and spread evenly. Refrigerate until set, one hour.
  7. Makes 24 bars.
Make these bars as soon as you can. You owe it to yourself, you really do!
