Millionaire's Krispie Treats

Ingredients

• For the Krispie Layer
• White Marshmallows (200g)
• Butter (30g)
• Rice Krispies (160g)
• For the Caramel Layer
• Butter (150g)
• Condensed Milk (397g - one tin)
• Soft Light Brown Sugar (150g)
• Vanilla Extract (1/2 teaspoon)
• For the Chocolate Layer
• Milk Chocolate (250g)

Method

• For the Krispie Layer

1. Line a 9"x9" baking tin.
2. Gently melt the butter and marshmallows in a saucepan on a low-medium heat
3. Keep on the heat and stir intermittently until the mixture has formed smooth sticky paste. Be patient, as this may take a few minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the rice krispies until they're evenly covered.
5. Press down in to the baking tin.

• For the Caramel Layer
1. Gently heat the sugar and butter in a non-stick frying pan, stirring until melted together.
2. Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stir continuously and do not take off the heat. Add the vanilla extract after 4 minutes, then continue for 1 additional minute.
3. Take off the heat and pour the mixture over the shortbread layer. On a flat surface, shake the tin a little to get the caramel to evenly distribute.
4. Chill in the fridge until set.
• For the Chocolate Layer
1. Break the chocolate up in to small chunks and melt in a bowl over hot water until smooth.
2. Allow the chocolate to cool very slightly for a minute, and then pour on top of the caramel.
3. Chill in the fridge until fully set before cutting in to pieces.

Notes

• - More or less chocolate can be added depending on your desired thickness - dark chocolate, white chocolate, or a swirled mixture can be used according to your preference.
• - If the caramel is too hard this means it's been boiled for a little too long. Storing your millionaire's rice krispie treats at room temperature will help with this.
• - Heat your knife using hot water to help the knife cut through the millionaire's rice krispie treats.
