Recipe Introduction

I remember my mom making these years ago and I found the recipe for them she sent me when I was going through some old papers and photos. They're rich but oh so good! :)

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. cocoa
1/2 cup chopped nuts
4 cups miniature marshmallows

(Topping)
1 1/3 cup (8oz.) choocolate chips
3 tbsp. butter
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups crisp rice cereal


Recipe

In a mixing bow, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, beat until fluffy. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa; add to creamed mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread in a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over top, return to oven for 2-3 minutes. Using a knife dipped in water, spread the melted marshmallows around evenly. Cool.

For topping, combine chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in a small sauce pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and well blended. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal. Spread over top of other mixture and chill.
