That’s a mouthful, literally and figuratively. These brownies are out of this world. They are a labor of love and I strongly recommend you try these. Why? Because there will come a time when you’ll need these brownies in your life. For those days when you may be a little down because the guy you like never called you back, because you did not get that promotion at work, because life is just not fair sometimes. That’s when you want to eat this brownie. No matter what your reason may be, these rice krispie brownies are perfect to share with your friends or your loved ones. Regardless of all the ingredients you see, some of them duplicates, these brownies do come together pretty quickly. So don’t be afraid to try making them.
Ingredients
Brownie layer
Butter – use unsalted butter so you can control how much salt goes in your brownies. Sugar – granulated white sugar is fine. Flour – good all-purpose flour. Cocoa powder – I used Dutch processed unsweetened cocoa powder. Salt – to bring all the flavors together. Baking powder – this helps lift the brownies, creating a cake-like texture. Eggs – eggs act as an emulsifier and make the batter smoother, plus adds volume and texture. Chocolate chips – use a good quality semisweet chocolate chips. Vanilla extract – Without this, your dessert may taste a little flat.
Cheesecake layer
Cream cheese – I always prefer using Philadelphia cream cheese whenever making any sort of cheesecake. Eggs – This will give you a nice and silky texture in your cheesecake. Sugar – granulated white sugar is fine. Flour – A little bit of all-purpose flour is all we need. Milk – A little bit goes a long way. Vanilla extract – Without this, your dessert may taste a little flat.
Rice krispies layer
Rice krispies – One of my favorite cereals. This is what provides the crunch in our brownies. Peanut butter – I used smooth, but you can use crunchy as well! Chocolate chips – Use a good quality semisweet chocolate chips. Nutella – My all time favorite ingredients in the whole wide world.

Some Tips
Leftovers
Store leftover rice krispie brownies in an airtight container, or properly wrapped up in the fridge for 5 to 7 days. I wouldn’t store them at room temperature because of the cheesecake layer.
Freezing
If you make a big batch and want to freeze a few of these, make sure they’re fully cooled down to room temperature before popping them in the freezer. Place them in a large freezer bag or airtight container, and they’ll last 4-6 months frozen. As long as you let them fully cool before freezing them, you won’t have to worry about them freezing together in a block. Feel free to stack them up if you have lots to freeze. You can even freeze the whole baking pan, before even slicing them, just make sure you probably wrap it up.
