- 2 caramel bits 11 ounce each, Kraft; in bags
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup dark chocolate wafers melted, Ghirardelli brand
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk chocolate baking bits M&M mini
Instructions
- Line a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in all but 1 1/2 cups of the marshmallows. Reduct heat to low and continue stirring until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Add the cereal and reserved marshmallows. Fold gently until combined.
- Pour into prepared baking dish. Press GENTLY with your fingertips until spread out.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine caramel bits with heavy cream. Heat for 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Spread over krispie treats. Allow to set about two hours.
- Cut into large squares. Separate onto a cutting board and slide popsicle stick into them, if desired, Drizzle with melted chocolate and add candy bits if desired. Allow to set about 15 minutes and enjoy! Store covered at room temperature.
Notes
- To prevent cereal treats from sticking to your fingers, dampen them with water before spreading them in the pan.
- Display or store the treats in a single layer to preserve the look of the chocolate and M&Ms.
- When melting the caramel with the heavy cream, be sure to stir them together every 30 seconds or so. This helps everything combine and melt evenly without scalding.
- Always use fresh mini marshmallows and fresh rice crispy cereal for best results!
- Store at room temperature for up to one week.
