Deluxe Chocolate Marshmallow Bars

Cake:

¾ C butter

1 ½ C sugar

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

½ tsp powder

½ tsp salt

3 T cocoa

Topping:

1 1/3 chocolate chips

3 T butter

1 C peanut butter

2 C rice crisp cereal

4 C marshmallows

Mix sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer.  After it is mixed, add eggs and vanilla and mix again.  In a different bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa.  After it is mixed, add it to the other mixture and stir it until all of the dry mixture is mixed in.

Spread in a greased 9x12 pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle marshmallows over the cake.  Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes.  Using a knife dipped in water, spread the marshmallows evenly over the cake.  Cool it down.

For topping, mix chocolate chips, butter and peanut butter in a sauce pan.  Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and well blended.  Stir in cereal, spread over the marshmallows and put in the refrigerator to chill.
