These were a definite hit! We love rice krispie treats at our house. You could say they are our kryptonite when it comes to dieting for us. These ones are just a little amped up! I took these to a barbecue and 90 percent of them didn't make it to the table!
Adapted from Kitchen Cafe
3 tablespoons butter
1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
15 caramels, quartered
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
Prepare pan by lining an 9 X 13-inch baking dish with foil, allowing excess foil to hang over pan edges. Grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add marshmallows, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and salt and cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth, about 8 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
Off heat, stir in rice krispies, pecans, and caramels until incorporated. Scrape mixture into prepared pan and press into bottom and corners with a greased spatula (I just used my fingers since the marshmallows weren’t overly hot at this point). Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
Melt semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave on low at 30 second intervals until smooth. Pour melted chocolate into a ziploc baggie, pressing chocolate into one corner of the bag. Using scissors, clip a tiny piece off the corner and drizzle chocolate over cooled treats. Allow chocolate to cool, about 45 minutes. Using foil overhang, lift treats from pan. Cut into squares. Serve.
