Caramel Rice Krispies Bars

If you were wondering where the other half of canned sweetened condensed milk went from last week's treat, {Bittersweet} Chocolate Revel Bars, I used it in these family favorite camping treats:

Caramel Rice Krispies Bars

recipe by Stella B's Kitchen

printer friendly recipe

Butter a 9x13 cake pan.  Prepare top and bottom layers as you would Rice Krispies treats, in two batches.  Warm caramel layer in microwave over low heat, stirring occasionally.  

You will need:

12 ounce box Rice Krispies cereal

16 ounce bag of mini marshmallows

1 can sweetened condensed milk

14 ounce bag caramels

7 Tbsp butter

Bottom Layer:

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

6 cups mini marshmallows (use a little over half the bag if you don't want to measure...the sun will still rise if it isn't exact)

3 Tbsp butter

Prepare and press lightly in pan, don't pack it down.

Middle Layer:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

14 ounces caramel (1 bag Kraft caramels~about 50, unwrapped)

2 Tbsp butter

Melt til smooth, pour evenly over bottom layer.

Top Layer:

4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

2 Tbsp butter

4 cups mini marshmallows, (remaining marshmallows of the 16 ounce bag)

Prepare and drop blobs evenly over caramel layer.  

Cool to set.  Cover and refrigerate.

**Note~ the caramel will want to ooze around in warmer temperatures, so during camping season these are best refrigerated.

Variation~ Try substituting Fruity Pebbles instead of Rice Krispies, it sounds weird, but is oh-so-yummy!!!~ an accidental discovery by my sister when she ran out of Rice Krispies for the top layer.
