Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cup Rice Krispie cereal

Caramel Layer

  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the bars later.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Mix in Rice Krispies: Stir the Rice Krispie cereal into the melted chocolate until well combined. Pour half of this mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it into a smooth layer.
  4. Chill the Chocolate Base: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate layer to harden.
  5. Melt the Caramel: In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and heavy whipping cream. Microwave again in 30-second intervals, stirring well between sessions, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
  6. Add Caramel Layer: Pour the melted caramel over the chilled chocolate base and spread evenly to form a smooth layer.
  7. Top with Remaining Chocolate Mixture: Dollop the remaining chocolate and Rice Krispie mixture over the caramel layer. Carefully spread to cover the caramel layer completely.
  8. Final Chill and Serve: Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill until fully hardened, about 1 hour. Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easier removal of the bars without sticking.
  • Microwave intervals prevent burning the chocolate and caramel; always stir between intervals.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and firmness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute with dairy-free chocolate chips and vegan caramel.
  • Allow bars to come slightly to room temperature before serving for softer texture if desired.
