Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 5 cups Mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice cereal
• 8 ounces Caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 4 regular-sized bars (about 2 ounces each) Milky Way candy bars
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted, smooth, and combined.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the rice cereal. Mix until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.

Step 4

Press the rice cereal mixture into the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Allow it to cool and firm up for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.

Step 6

Pour the caramel over the rice cereal layer and spread it evenly with a spatula. Let it sit for 10 minutes to set slightly.

Step 7

Chop the Milky Way candy bars into small pieces. Place them in another microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-30 second intervals, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Spread the melted Milky Way bar mixture evenly over the caramel layer. Use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to smooth it out. Allow this layer to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15-20 seconds until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the bars. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Step 11

Once set, cut the bars into 16 squares or your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
