Ingredients
Bars:
-
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
-
½ cup melted butter or margarine
-
2 cups mini marshmallows
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
½ package graham crackers, crushed
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
-
Crispy Base: Spread Rice Krispies evenly in the dish.
-
Buttery Drizzle: Drizzle melted butter evenly over the cereal.
-
Marshmallow Layer: Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top—do not press down.
-
Chocolate Layer: Evenly scatter chocolate chips over the marshmallows.
-
Graham Cracker Layer: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top.
-
Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour in a thin, even stream of sweetened condensed milk over the top.
-
Bake: Bake 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Cover with foil if marshmallows brown too quickly.
-
Cool Completely: Let the bars cool completely in the pan (or refrigerate for faster setting) before slicing. Use the parchment sling to lift out and cut into 12–16 squares.
Notes
-
Salty-Sweet: Add ½ cup crushed pretzels with the graham crackers.
-
Tropical: Swap chocolate chips for white chocolate and add ½ cup shredded coconut.
-
Peanut Butter: Drizzle ½ cup peanut butter over the cereal layer before marshmallows.
-
Nutty Crunch: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans with chocolate chips.
-
Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free Rice Krispies and graham cracker
