Ingredients

Scale

Rice Krispie Treats

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Caramel Crunch cereal

Samoa Layer

  • 11 oz. bag of caramels
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut (toasted)
  • 3 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/3 cup butter. Add 5 cups mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
  2. Combine with Cereal: Pour in 6 cups of Caramel Crunch cereal and stir until every piece is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Press into Pan: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a 9×13 inch pan and firmly press it down evenly using a spatula or clean hands to form the base layer.
  4. Melt Caramels: In a medium saucepan, combine the 11 oz bag of caramels with 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream over medium heat. Stir frequently until the caramel is fully melted and smooth, creating the Samoa caramel layer.
  5. Toast Coconut: Spread 1 1/2 cups coconut on a baking tray. Toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent burning. Remove and let cool.
  6. Combine Caramel and Coconut: Stir the toasted coconut into the melted caramel mixture. Pour this mixture evenly over the pressed Rice Krispie treats in the pan.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Place 3 cups milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval, for about 90 seconds total, until smooth.
  8. Slice and Dip: Once the layers have set slightly, slice the treats into individual pieces and carefully remove from the pan. Dip the bottom of each piece into the melted chocolate, then place on wax paper.
  9. Drizzle Chocolate: Transfer remaining melted chocolate into a small ziplock bag, snip off a tiny corner, and drizzle the chocolate over the top of each treat for a beautiful finish.
  10. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature before serving these indulgent Samoa Rice Krispie Treats.

Notes

  • Press the Rice Krispie mixture firmly to ensure the treats hold together well.
  • Use mini marshmallows for quicker melting and smoother mixture.
  • Stir toasted coconut frequently to prevent burning and achieve an even golden color.
  • If preferred, substitute milk chocolate chips with dark or semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Storing treats in an airtight container keeps them fresh for up to 3 days.
