Caramel Stuffed Krispie Bars

My grandma used to make these treats where she would take a marshmallow and roll it in caramel and then dip it in rice krispies. They were so yummy and this dessert reminded me of those. These were so so delicious. Seriously try them, you will love them. I made them when we branded cows and everybody loved them.

14 oz caramel pieces, unwrapped

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

12 Tbsp butter, divided in half

10 cups Rice Krispie cereal, divided in half

10 cups mini marshmallows, divided: 4 cups, 4 cups & 2 cups

 

Grease a 9x13 pan, set aside

Caramel Filling :

In a large microwave safe bowl combine caramel pieces, sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup butter. Microwave on high in 1 minutes increments (stirring after each) until caramels are melted, approx 3-4 minutes. Stir until smooth, set aside.

Krispie Treats:

Take 6 Tbsp butter and 4 cups marshmallows. Heat in microwave for 1 minute, stir, repeat if necessary in 20 second increments until marshmallows are melted. Stir until butter and marshmallow are combined. Pour 5 cups Krispie Rice Cereal into marshmallow mixture, stir until coated. Press into the bottom of prepared pan.

Pour caramel over top Krispie layer and then sprinkle 2 cups mini marshmallows on top of that.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes until caramel has set.

When caramel has set repeat the krispie layer with remaining ingredients. Press final krispie layer on top of caramel.

* TIP ~ Spray a piece of parchment or wax paper lightly with cooking spray and press the krispies lightly and evenly into pan.

Let krispies set up for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares. The caramel layer takes a bit of time to set up.
