Chocolate Brownies with a Golden Crisp Crust

There is something about the holidays that brings out the baker in everyone. This year with a little one arriving any time I’m all about semi-homemade. I still get the smell of the fresh baked brownies in the oven, but I get a little help from my boxed friends. For this weeks treat to get me through the week I picked up some buy one get one brownies and used this Post cereal coupon on coupons.com for Golden Crisp® cereal. 

I wanted to make a special treat for the holidays, not just a plain box of brownies. So to add a little to my brownies I used the Golden Crisp® cereal for a golden crust that would be baked into the bottom of my brownies. These brownies are so simple to make and you can whip them up in less then 15 minutes prep time. This is a perfect treat for movie night with your family.


With this Golden Crisp® cereal purchase you can also enter to win the SING©  movie sweepstakes with a grand prize of $100,000 or other prizes such as movie tickets, speakers, and more. There is no purchase required. You can learn all about this sweepstakes here–the movie SING© will be in theaters December 21st, 2016.

  • 2 cups of Golden Crisp Cereal
  • 1/3 cup of Melted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon of Maple Syrup

  • 1 Egg

2. Put Golden Crisp Cereal into the food processor and process until consistency is fine. Mix Butter and Maple Syrup with the processed cereal. Place in bottom of 8×8 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 5 minutes. 


3. While crust is baking mix the brownies, oil, water, craisins, and egg with a spoon until no more lumps. 

4. Pour Brownie batter over the crust and bake for about 39 minutes. 


5. Place fudge topping (still in package) in warm water for 4-5 minutes, spread on top of brownies and top with Christmas sprinkles.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going?
