Servings 36 bars
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- 10 ounces marshmallow
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 ½ cups salted peanuts
- 11 ounces caramels
- 3 tbsps heavy cream
- 2½ cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- 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.
