These Chocolate Peanut Butter Crisp Bars are everything I look for in a dessert all in one delectable bite. Rich chocolate flavor, creamy peanut butter and crispy chocolate-coated rice combine for a high-flavor intensity and multi-textural brownie experience.

The brownies are baked and cooled first, smeared with a layer of natural peanut butter and topped with chocolate peanut butter-coated rice. Featuring my favorite new ingredient, Heinen’s fresh ground honey roasted peanut butter, it is also a fun way to utilize Heinen’s rice crispies cereal beyond the breakfast bowl.
