Ingredients

Rice Krispies Layer

  • ¼ cup butter
  • 5 cups marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Caramel Layer

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 300 ml
  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup white sugar

Chocolate Layer

  • 270 grams dark chocolate
  • 1½ tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Grease a 9-inch square cake pan and line with parchment paper.

Rice Krispie Layer

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  • Add marshmallows and continue cooking, stirring until marshmallows are melted and the mixture is smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add cereal stir to coat the cereal.
  • Spread cereal mixture into the prepared pan and gently press into the pan to create an even layer. Set aside.

Caramel Layer

  • Add condensed milk, butter and sugar to a saucepan.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and pour over the Rice Krispies layer, using a spatula to spread it evenly over the cereal base.
  • Place in fridge to set the caramel, about 15-20 minutes. (Place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes)

Chocolate Layer

  • Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler, or a large heat-proof glass bowl.
  • Add the coconut oil and melt over simmering water until melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer, using a spatula to spread it evenly over the entire top.
  • Allow the chocolate to set before cutting into squares for serving.
  • Store in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Chocolate can be melted in the microwave instead of a double boiler. To do this, melt half the chocolate with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring after 30 seconds and continuing in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is melted. Stir in the remaining chocolate until it melts.
