Peanut Butter Brownie Bars

1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)
12 peanut butter cups, chopped
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prepare brownie batter according to package directions. Spread into a greased
13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a
toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs. Sprinkle with
peanut butter cups and peanuts. Bake 4-6 minutes longer or until chocolate is
melted. Cool on a wire rack. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the
chocolate chips, peanut butter, butter and salt. Cook and stir until chips are
melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in cereal and vanilla.
Carefully spread over brownies. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before
cutting.

Yield: 3 dozen.
