Staci at Random Sweets
I grew up with my mom making these. You think traditional Rice Krispies treats are good? Wait until you eat them with caramel in the middle.

Ingredients
  

  • 11 oz caramels, unwrapped
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks)
  • 20 oz mini marshmallows
  • 14 cups Rice Krispies Cereal

Instructions
 

  • Line 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Butter generously. Or skip the paper and just butter the pan.
  • In the microwave or on the stove top, melt together caramels, condensed milk, and 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter over low heat. Stir, stir, stir. Keep your eyes on it or it will burn.
  • In a large bowl or saucepan, melt together marshmallows and 1 stick (8 tablespoons) of butter. Stir in cereal.
  • Drop big spoonfuls of the marshmallow cereal mixture into the pan – only use half of the mix. Spray the back of a large spoon with cooking spray and use it to press the cereal into an even layer.
  • Pour caramel over the layer.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the remaining cereal on top of the caramel. Use the greased spoon again to press the cereal into an even layer.
  • Let set at least four hours before cutting into squares. Eat within a day or two.
