The Ultimate Rice Krispies Treat
Three layers of delicious Rice Krispies madness, beginning with an ooey gooey, marshmallowy layer of caramel-infused Rice Krispies, followed by a crispy layer of milk chocolate and peanutbuttery goodness, and a final crispy crunchy layer of peanut butterscotchy Heaven. Oh, and did I mention the Reeses's cups and Heath Toffee pieces?
Ingredients
For the Caramel Krispie Layer
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- 9 ounces marshmallows
- 1 (10.5 oz) package Reese's Cups (about 15), chopped
For the Chocolate Krispie Layer
- 8 ounces milk chocolate chopped
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 4 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup Heath Toffee Bits
For the Butterscotch Krispie Layer
- 8 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Pour cereal into a large bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and caramel sauce together over medium-low heat (stirring continuously).
- Once melted, add the marshmallows and turn the heat to low. Stir until the marshmallows are mostly melted. Pour marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir gently to combine. Dump mixture into prepared 9x13 pan. Allow to cool 5 minutes, then press cereal mixture into pan with greased hands.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese's Cups evenly over Rice Krispies.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave until chocolate has melted. Stir to combine. Add the cereal and stir once more until combined. Dump chocolate Krispies mixture into pan and spread into an even layer with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle toffee bits evenly over chocolate layer.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, heat the butterscotch chips and peanut butter in the microwave until butterscotch chips have melted. Stir to combine. Add the cereal and stir until evenly coated. Dump mixture into pan and spread into an even layer with a rubber spatula.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow all layers to set up. Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy!
