Cooking Thursday

I'm sure you've all had Rice Krispy squares.  They are good, but I found a recipe for a special Rice Krispy square with caramel.  I think caramel makes everything better, so I had to try it.  They are very good, but are rich so next time I'm cutting them in smaller squares!

Caramel Stuffed Krispy Treats

Ingredients:

Caramel Filling

14 oz caramel kraft bits

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

8 Tablespoons butter 

 

Rice Krispy Layer

12 Tablespoons butter, halved

10 cups Rice Krispies, halved

8 cups mini marshmallows, split in half

Additional 2 cups mini marshmallows for sprinkling 

 

 Line 9 x 13 pan with nonstick foil.

 

 Caramel

 Microwave the caramel bits, butter and condensed milk until melted and smooth when stirred.

 

Rice Krispy Treats

Microwave 6 T. butter and 4 cups marshmallows just a minute and stir until melted. Stir in cereal and press into pan.

Pour on the caramel.

Sprinkle on the additional 2 cups marshmallows and pop in freezer for 15 minutes.

Use the remaining krispy ingredients and repeat directions.

Press this layer on top of the marshmallows and caramel layer and return to the freezer for 15 minutes.

Switch to the fridge and let set up for a few hours.
