So this is like the easiest recipe in the world. Like so easy, who could mess it up? Any yet somehow I managed to mess it up and my first batch went in the trash. I mean, really?! So note to self, don’t use stale marshmallows or you’ll end up with a hard marshmallow mess. So, it really wasn’t my fault, right?! It was the marshmallows I used! 
So I ran to the store and got more marshmallows. I wasn’t going to let a krispie treat conquer me! It turned out perfectly the second time using fresh marshmallows. I love the slightly chocolatey flavor, and I would even add a bit more brownie mix next time. I didn’t have the brownie pieces to put in this but I bet they would be even better with those.
Brownie Batter Krispie Treats
Source: Cookies & Cups
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1- 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
1 cup dry brownie mix (or more for a stronger chocolate flavor)
6 cups rice krispie cereal
Optional: 2 cups brownie pieces
Directions:
Spray a 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted add in marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in brownie mix.
Transfer marshmallow mixture to a large bowl. Pour in rice krispies (and brownie pieces) and carefully stir until fully incorporated. Press into prepared pan. Let cool, then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

This is a fun twist on the average krispie treats! I love to switch it up every now and again
Whenever I make rice krispies I try to do the 1 pot challenge – and try to mix it all on the pot I melted everything in….it normally turns out to be a huge mess but I still always try haha!
I tried to do the same thing the second time around, but my pot wasn’t big enough!:)
These are incredible. With all the cake batter krispie treats floating around I cannot believe it never occurred to me to use brownie mix! Wonderful!

I thought that this was going to be complicated but it’s so simple! Sounds great.
And I use expired stuff all the time. Good to know that I shouldn’t bother with expired marshmallows!
