Grandma Gerts Caramel Rice Krispie Bar Recipes

Steps:

• Layer One: Melt the margarine and marshmallows.
• Stir in Rice Krispies cereal.
• Pat in a buttered 9 x 13 baking pan.
• Layer Two: Melt the caramels, margarine and milk and bring to a boil.
• Pour over layer one.
• Refrigerate 35-40 minutes, until set.
• Layer Three: Melt margarine and marshmallows.
• Add Rice Krispies cereal (and coconut).
• Pat on top of cooled caramel layer two.
• *May add melted chocolate or caramel chips, if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare a baking dish and a large mixing bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cereal into a large mixing bowl and set next to your stove.
• Heat caramel bits and butter together in a large saucepan over low heat until both are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes; add marshmallows. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring regularly, until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes; pour immediately into the middle of the cereal in the bowl and quickly stir to coat cereal completely.
• Spread the coated cereal into the prepared baking dish. Spray the back of a spoon with cooking spray and use it to press the cereal into an even layer. Let cereal cool completely before cutting into squares.
