Ingredients

Directions

Line a 9-inch-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until completely dissolved.
Add the Rice Krispies and stir until the cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow-butter mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and press gently into the pan using the bottom of a measuring cup.
Sprinkle the peanuts over the top of the Rice Krispies mixture.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the caramels and the heavy cream. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each interval, until the caramels are fully melted.
Pour the caramel sauce over the top of the peanut layer.
Place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between each interval, until fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer.
Set the treats aside for about 1 hour, allowing the chocolate to set completely, before cutting and enjoying.

Notes

Lightly spray the bottom of the measuring cup with pan spray to prevent the Rice Krispies from sticking to the bottom of it.

Storage Tips

I store them in an air tight container. If you need to store them in layers, separate each layer with parchment or wax paper.
They honestly don't last that long but you can store them up to a week. Be careful of storing them in direct sunlight or near heat as they may get funky.
I try to prepare them no longer than 48 hours before serving or taking them to a gathering.
