Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Delicious! I love a good Rice Krispie treat. These caramel rice krispie treats are soft, gooey, and delicious. There is a layer of caramel and a chocolate drizzle that take these over the top.

Quick and Easy. They come together in minutes quickly and this recipe is a fun way to dress up a classic treat.

Ingredients Needed

• Marshmallows, large or mini
• Butter, salted
• Rice Krispie cereal (crispy rice cereal)
• Kraft Caramel Bits
• Chocolate Chips. I use semi sweet chocolate chips but also use milk chocolate chips.

How to Make Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

• Melt large marshmallows and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Alternatively you can use the microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

• Mix the marshmallow and butter together until it is smooth and melted.
• Pour marshmallow mixture over 7 cups of rice cereal in a large bowl.
• Stir to combine and totally coat cereal.
• Put mixture into a buttered cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
• Allow bars to set up.
• Cut sheet in half using a knife or spatula.

• Melt caramel using the stove top or microwave.
• Spread the caramel on half of the pan.  
• Fold the other half of the bars over on top of the caramel layer to make a sandwich.
• Cut into squares.

• Melt chocolate in microwave or on the stove top.
• Drizzle melted chocole over the cut bars.

Ingredients

• ▢ 10 oz. large marshmallows
• ▢ 1/2 cup butter
• ▢ 7 cups rice krispie cereal
• ▢ 11 oz. Kraft Caramel Bits
• ▢ 1/2 cup Chocolate chips melted for drizzling

Instructions

• Add marshmallows and butter into a microwavable bowl.
• Melt in microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Mix marshmallows and butter until butter melts and mixture is smooth. (If the butter doesn’t melt, microwave for an extra 15 seconds or so.)
• Add cereal into marshmallow mixture.
• Once the marshmallow-butter mixture is evenly mixed in, pour into a greased 18 x 13″ pan and allow to set
• Cut in half.
• Melt caramel bits and pour over half of the rice kris pies.
• Cover caramel with other half of rice krispies.
• Refrigerate to set up and then cut into pieces
• Drizzle with melted chocolate.

Tips & Notes:

1. If you are in a hurry, stick treats in the refrigerator to help them set up quicker.
2. I used Kraft caramel bits because you don’t have to unwrap and they melt easily in the microwave but you can also use the square caramels.
3. If you love salted caramel rice krispie treats, sprinkle a bit of flaky sea salt on top of the caramel layer.
