Better Than Crack Brownies and Tea on the Deck

I found the recipe for "Better Than Crack Brownies" at How Sweet It Is. I made them for a Church get-together but my mom and I had to to try them out to make sure they were "OK". hehe (Recipe below.)


It was a nice cool day, so we had teatime on the deck. The tea was definitely needed because these Brownies are so rich. They were extremely delicious! You can see that my mom drinks her tea plain and I use milk and sugar in mine.

I found this teapot, tea cups and saucers while on our Niagra Falls vacation. I came across them at Gordie Harpers Bazaar in Newfane, NY. I could get lost in that place. So many things to look at and buy.

I love this pattern. I have a fondness for roses and this set is so simple and delicate. Thank you, Laura at Laura's Rose Garden for letting me know the name of this pattern is "Moss Rose". I was wondering how I would find out.

Better Than Crack Brownies

1 batch brownies (boxed mix or homemade)

1/2 cup salted peanuts

1 cup chopped Reese's peanut butter cups

1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter

1/2 Tablespoon butter

1 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

While they are finishing baking, melt chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter. Stir in cereal. Remove brownies from oven and evenly spread chocolate mixture over tope.

Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.

This recipe is easy and fun to make. They are a must try. Yummy!
