I thought this was really good but had to downgrade a bit since my 3 and 4 year old kids and their 3 year old friend would not eat them. Maybe that's because the texture is different than what the kids are used to (soft but top layer is crunchy). I picked this recipe since it has a bit of nutrition to it - peanut butter cereal. At least that's what I told myself as I wolfed them down. Note that these bars probably would not travel well since the top layer softens easily in warm weather. Read More

Made these for years, always a hit. The bottom layer is meant to be thin, this is not a cake. Also, it is very easy to overbake the bottom layer, put the marshmallows on when it isn't quite done. Also, this recipe was first published in the March 1979 issue of Better Homes & Gardens. Read More

I thought these were really good as did everyone that tried one the only change I made at the time was to add about an extra half cup of marshmallow to the layer for a nice even coating...however next time I make I will make a couple of changes..I didn't think the peanut butter came through enough and would add peanut butter chips to the brownie layer would also increase the brownie layer by half as it seemed a bit thin I would also add more crispies to the top layer for extra crunch Read More

My husband and I really liked these bars. The only reason I did not rate them a 5 was because I felt that the "brownie" part was too bland and cakey. My husband loved them though! Read More
