Ingredients
- 3 tbsp salted butter
- 1 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup caramel bites I used Kraft
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 14 oz. jar of caramel topping
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep: Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt: In a medium saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over medium-low heat. Mix until marshmallows are melted and you have a smooth mixture. Make sure to keep the heat low and stir often so the marshmallows don't burn1
- Mix: Pour the marshmallow mixture into a large mixing bowl and add the caramel bites. Then, add Rice Krispie cereal. Mix with a silicone spatula (or wooden spoon) until all of the cereal is well-coated.
- Transfer: Transfer mixture into prepared 9x13 baking dish. Spread in an even layer. Tip: use a fork or spatula coated with a little butter if the mixture is too sticky to spread easily.
- Pour & Sprinkle: Pour the caramel sauce over the Rice Krispie treats and spread evenly with a spoon.; Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the top.
- Cool (optional): Set aside and allow caramel to set for about one hour. Or place in the fridge for faster setting-time! When cool, cut into squares and enjoy.
