This recipe takes Rice Krispie treats to the next level. It's easy and a stove top is not needed. All the melting is done in the microwave. I love to use this recipe when I have large gatherings like Thanksgiving. I just hand over the recipe to the young adults in the group and they make it while I have my hands in something else. Fun!
Ingredients
Caramel
1 14 oz. bag of caramels unwrapped. The Kraft caramel bag now is 11 oz. You will need 1 bag at 11 oz., and 12 more individual caramels.
Place caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter in a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth and return to microwave if not completely melted. Usually, 1-2 more minutes depending on your microwave.
Set aside to cool.
In another bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and 4 cups marshmallows for 70 seconds.
Stir until smooth and pour over 5 cups of cereal.
Stir until the cereal is coated.
Place the Rice Krispie mixture in a buttered 9 X 13 glass pan.
Sprinkle 2 cups of miniature marshmallows on top of the Rice Krispie mixture.
Carefully pour caramel mixture over the marshmallows.
Refrigerate to set up.
Repeat the second layer of Rice Krispies.
Melt 6 tablespoons of butter with 4 cups of marshmallows, stir and pour over 5 cups of Rice Krispies and mix until coated.
Place second layer of Rice Krispie mixture on top of caramel layer and chill until firm.
Chill at least ½ hour before cutting.
I like to cut into small pieces because they are sweet.
