Description
Make chewy Rice Krispie Treats mixed with caramel, chocolate, and pecans for a rich, no-bake dessert bar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup caramel sauce, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup turtle candies, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
- Add the marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce until it is fully incorporated into the marshmallow mixture.
- Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until it is evenly coated.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans and the chopped turtle candies, if using. Do not overmix.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Use wax paper or lightly buttered hands to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 cup of caramel sauce. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate-caramel mixture over the cereal base. Spread evenly.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce lightly over the top layer for extra visual appeal.
- Allow the treats to set completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For extra chewiness, use fresh marshmallows.
- If you do not have pre-made turtle candies, use 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup caramel bits, and 1/2 cup chopped pecans mixed into the cereal base.
- To get clean cuts, chill the finished bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing.
