Ingredients:
1 pkg. (19-21 1/2 oz.) fudge brownie mix
1 pkg. (10 oz.) miniature marshmallows
1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate pieces
1 c. peanut butter
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1 1/2 c. crisp rice cereal

Directions:
Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions, using a 9x13 baking pan and the directions for chewy (not cake-like) brownies.  Bake according to the directions.

Sprinkle baked brownies with marshmallows and return to oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden.  Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

In a saucepan, combine chocolate pieces, peanut butter, and butter or margarine.  Heat and stir until chocolate is melted.  Remove from heat; stir in the cereal.  Pour evenly over marshmallows.

Refrigerate until topping is set.  Cut into bars.  Serve at room temperature.
