Chocolate Caramel Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Description
Chocolate Caramel Rice Krispie Treats blend the crunchy texture of Rice Krispies cereal bound with gooey melted marshmallows and butter with a sweet, soft caramel layer. The top layer infuses milk chocolate chips melted with peanut butter for a creamy finish. The recipe involves layering the classic Rice Krispies mixture in a pan and chilling it before adding a silky caramel sauce on top, followed by a chocolate and peanut butter glaze. Each layer is chilled to firm up before adding the next, resulting in sturdy bars with multiple textures.
The treats combine sweet, buttery marshmallow cereal squares with a luxuriously smooth caramel taste and rich chocolate peanut butter topping. This layering balances the soft chewiness of marshmallow with sticky caramel and the creamy spread of chocolate peanut butter. Cutting while cold preserves clean edges, though letting bars sit a bit before slicing allows them to soften for easier eating. These bars are well-suited for dessert tables, parties, or anytime a sweet, textured bar is desired.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 14 oz caramels unwrapped
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 bag milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
- In a medium pot add butter and mini marshmallows and melt on medium heat stirring constantly. When mixture is smooth, add vanilla.
- Remove pot from heat and add cereal and mix well. Pour this into the greased pan.
- Spread and smooth the mixture using a spatula or wax paper. Put in fridge and chill.
- In another pot, add unwrapped caramels and water and cook on low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. Pour this over your Rice Krispies mixture and spread evenly. Put back in fridge to chill.
- For last layer, add chocolate chips to a small pot on low heat, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Add peanut butter and mix until smooth. Remove from heat and add to the caramel layer. Place back in fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.
- Cut bars while cold but set out at least half hour before eating so they aren't as hard and cold. ENJOY!
