There are plenty of ways to get over a breakup. You can delete their number, return their sweatshirt, spend a little too much time analyzing what went wrong, or you can make a pan of Break Up Bars. We’re not saying a rich, chocolatey dessert can heal a broken heart, but we’re also not saying it can’t. And honestly, these bars are a whole lot more reliable than texting your ex.

It all starts with a fudgy brownie base, which is already a pretty good place to begin. Then come the chopped Butterfingers and peanut butter cups, because apparently we’re not interested in doing anything halfway around here. Once those brownies are baked, they get topped with a thick layer of melted chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, and crispy Rice Krispies cereal.

The result is rich, crunchy, chocolatey, and completely over the top in the best possible way. There’s plenty of peanut butter and chocolate in every bite, along with enough different textures to keep things interesting. Basically, if you’re looking for a subtle little dessert, you should probably keep scrolling.
