Traditional Brownie Goody Bars

Steps

• 1

  Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan.)
• 2

  Make and bake brownies as directed on box. Cool completely.
• 3

  Frost brownies with frosting. Sprinkle with peanuts; refrigerate while making cereal mixture.
• 4

  Measure cereal into large bowl; set aside. In 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 1 hour or until set before cutting. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.
