How to Make Brownie Bomb Bars

Quick Overview

These bars may have three layers, but don’t worry—it’s all straightforward and totally worth it. Total time includes baking, layering, and a chill period, making this a great make-ahead treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chunky peanut butter
• 3 1/2 cups cocoa krispies cereal

Step-by-Step:

Bottom Layer – Brownies:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together brownie mix, egg, oil, and water until fully combined.
3. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan.
4. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Do not overbake.
5. Let the brownies cool completely before moving on to the next layer.

1. Once cooled, spread the marshmallow creme evenly over the brownie layer.
2. Sprinkle sweetened flaked coconut on top of the marshmallow creme.

Top Layer – Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and chunky peanut butter.
2. Microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully blended.

What to Serve Brownie Bomb Bars With

These rich bars pair beautifully with a tall glass of cold milk or a cup of hot coffee. For a party tray, serve them alongside fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the sweetness. Hosting a game night or holiday get-together? These bars are your new secret weapon.

Top Tips for Perfecting Brownie Bomb Bars

• Cool Completely: Don’t rush layering—wait until brownies are fully cool to avoid melting the marshmallow.
• Cut Cleanly: Chill thoroughly and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts for neat squares.
• Customize Layers: Swap in white chocolate chips, almond butter, or crushed pretzels for a fun twist.
• Cereal Swap: Can’t find cocoa krispies? Use rice krispies and add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder for a similar flavor.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. These bars are best served chilled or at room temp—no reheating needed!

FAQs

Can I use homemade brownies instead of boxed mix? Definitely! Just be sure they’re dense and fudgy for best results.

Is it okay to skip the coconut? Yes—feel free to leave it out or replace it with chopped nuts or crushed graham crackers.

Can I use creamy peanut butter instead of chunky? Yes, though chunky adds a bit more texture. Use what you prefer or have on hand!

Conclusion

Brownie Bomb Bars are the ultimate triple-threat dessert: chewy, gooey, and crunchy all in one bite. Easy to make and impossible to resist, they’re a fun twist on classic treats that everyone will rave about. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or your next kitchen experiment, these bars truly live up to their name.
