How to Make Krispy Chocolate Caramel Bars
These bars are easy to make and come together quickly!
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine flour and powdered sugar. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the cold butter until you have a crumbly mixture. Press mixture into a 9x13 inch pan, ensuring the entire pan is covered. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 2: While the cookie crust is baking, take a large pot and melt the caramels, evaporated milk and butter over medium low heat, stirring constantly. It may take about 5-7 minutes to melt the caramels. Once the caramels are melted and you have a gooey caramel mixture, spread over the cookie crust.
Step 3: In medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips on low heat in the microwave, stirring after each 1 minute of cooking, until the mixture is creamy. Stir the rice krispie cereal in with the melted chocolate. Pour mixture over the caramel layer. Cool completely, then cut with a sharp knife into 18 bars.
