Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter
4 cups rice krispie cereal
1 7 oz jar of marshmallow creme
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup caramel chips

You can substitute 1 3/4 cups of mini marshmallows if you can’t find marshmallow creme. I recommend heating them as you do the chips to incorporate.

If using a spoon to flatten, grease the bottom to keep from sticking.

Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
