Tempt My Tummy - Caramel Rice Crispy Treats

Life As Mom is having a recipe swap Picnic version this week....how perfect!

As we approach summer I break out my grill-out/picnic treat recipes. Caramel is one of my favorites.....and so are rice crispy bars. Bonus!

Caramel Filled Rice Krispie Treats

8-9 Cups Rice Krispies

6 Tbsp butter

16 oz Marshmallows

50 Caramels (unwrapping them is a good job for the kids)

1/2 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (use the other half for a half batch of THESE)

1/2 cup butter

Melt 6 Tbsp butter and marshmallows together. Stir in rice krispies. Divide mixture evenly between two buttered pans.

Melt caramels, sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup butter together and spread over one pan of rice krispies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Remove the second pan of rice krispies treats and place on top of the caramel layer.

If you want to make them a little more decadent you can try this too (not recommended for picnics)...Chocolate Ganache

2 Tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Cup (2 oz) chopped semisweet chocolate or chocolate chips
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Heat whipping cream and butter in small sauce pan over medium heat until butter melts and mixture boils, stirring frequently with wooden spoon. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in chocolate and vanilla until mixture is smooth, returning to heat for 20-30 second intervals as needed to melt chocolate. Pour over the top of finished krispie treats, let cool.
