Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 5 cups Mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice cereal
- 8 ounces Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 4 regular-sized bars (about 2 ounces each) Milky Way candy bars
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted, smooth, and combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the rice cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Press the rice cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Allow it to cool and firm up for about 10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the caramel over the rice cereal layer and spread it evenly with a spatula. Let it sit for 10 minutes to set slightly.
Chop the Milky Way candy bars into small pieces. Place them in another microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy.
Spread the melted Milky Way bar mixture evenly over the caramel layer. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth it out. Allow this layer to cool for about 10 minutes.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the bars. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Once set, cut the bars into 16 squares or your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
