Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
For the Rice Krispies:
- 1 cup salted butter
- 20 oz mini marshmallows
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 9 cups Rice Krispies
- 2 cups mini candy bars, chopped I use Kit Kats, Hershey Bars, Reeses, Milky Ways, Snickers and M&Ms
For the topping:
- 8 oz milk chocolate you can use semi-sweet as well!
- 1 cup mini candy bars, chopped
Instructions
For the Rice Krispies:
- Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Lightly mist with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large pot melt your butter. Once melted, continually stir until the butter just begins to brown. The butter should foam up twice and then begin to give off almost a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat so the butter does not burn.
- Immediately stir in the two teaspoons of vanilla extract. The hot mixture will bubble up, so continue to stir an additional thirty seconds until the sizzling subsides. Add in salt.
- Add in half of the marshmallows and mix until almost completely melted before adding the remaining. Stir until all of the marshmallows are entirely combined and melted. At this point, add in the Rice Krispies, 2 cups at a time, and lightly stir until combined. Continue to add the Rice Krispies until everything is evenly combined.
- Pour ⅓ of the mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle in 1 cup of the chopped mini candy bars. Top with another ⅓ of the mixture and add remaining 1 cup of the candy. Top with the remaining Rice Krispies. Lightly wet your hands and gently push into the pan to the edges. You don't want to crush it, but you do want it to be pushed into the pan so be gentle.
For the topping:
- Break up the chocolate and add to a heat proof bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until completely melted. Once it's ready, set aside for 3 minutes to chill down to room temperature. Using a spoon, drizzle ½ of the chocolate onto the treats. Sprinkle on the remaining chopped mini candy bars, then drizzle on remaining chocolate to seal in the topping. Cut into 12 slices and enjoy!
