Caramel Stuffed Krispie Treats are a next level krispie treat recipe. This is an ooey-gooey, delicious no bake recipe that is loaded with easy caramel and marshmallows!
Caramel Stuffed Krispie Treats
These easy, no bake, cereal bars are a HUGE crowd pleaser! The gooey filing sandwiched between inside an otherwise traditional krispie treat is unexpected and delicious!
They are made quickly and will be a go-to no bake dessert for your recipe box, I know it!
These bars combine my 2 favorite food groups: Rice Krispies and Sweetened Condensed Milk.
They are really easy too…you do everything in the microwave!
First melt some butter, sweetened condensed milk and caramels together…
Then mix up half of the krispie treats. Starting with marshmallows and butter…
Then the Krispies…
Once you have the krispie treats good to go, press them in your pan and then pour that delicious caramel sauce over top…
Seriously…
Next sprinkle with some more marshmallows and repeat the krispie process…
Let it set up before you cut it.
Give it at least an hour, but I recommend longer.
They’re actually best the next day, but again, just give it a little time.
Also, I will warn you…these are sweet. Like rahhhly sweet.
And totally delicious.
And one more thing…a sweet reader of mine sent me this recipe. She totally rocks.

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

Made these last night- you’re right! They are just scrumptious! Seriously- I can’t stop eating them- carmely marshmallow party in my mouth!
Yay! Glad to hear the feedback 🙂
Im all over that sweetened condensed milk caramel. Heck to the YES!
THese have always been one of my all-time favorite treats!
YUM, RK treats and caramel are my sons 2 favorite things…. mine too! I just made them and I think the waiting 2 hours to set up is going to be the hardest…. I want to eat them NOW, they look scrumptious! I love your blog… thanks for sharing…
These are just like the ones from a favorite restaurant in Fort Madison, Iowa called The Ivy. They have the yummiest food, but their desserts are super yummy!! I bought their cookbook and this recipe is in it, thank goodness, cause once you try them, you want them again!!
Yes! The reader who sent me the recipe told me that she had them at a place called The Ivy Bake Shoppe… I included that in the bottom of the recipe 🙂
I have to get there one day!!
Didn’t know you could improve on the traditional bar, but I think you have! A must try.
Oh YUM these look AMAZING! I want them NOW. Like right NOW! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Ummm . . . YUM! I made cereal treats with caramel mixed in before, but putting a whole caramel layer is a fabulous idea! Can’t wait to try it.
Oh. My. Lord. You really did it this time! This is splendid. I hate awkward pauses or silences. I normally fill them with nervous creepy laughter though. hehehe
I’m the same. I hate awkward silence. haaattteee it. And I will do anything to make it stop. YOu don’t have to ask me twice to make these though…these I’ll agree to right from the get-go.
that looks like heaven!
Will definitely try these – they look delicious!!!
Another twist on this that is fun and delicious, but more time consuming, is to make the caramel mixture (minus the butter), dip a large marshmallow in the caramel and then roll the marshmallow in Rice Krispies. The kids love them!
Love your blog!
Thanks so much!!
WOW, these look incredible! Delicious, decadent and easy peasy! Love em.
OHMYGOSH I’m drooling over these beauties… highly attractive I’m sure!? 😀

I’ve never been the biggest fan of rice krispie treats because they always seem so plain and ho-hum. But hello, the caramel and extra layer of marshmallows in these look incredible! I might just have to make rice krispies this weekend now. 🙂
WHOA!!! These look awesome. I am quite the fan of traditional rice krispie treats, but I’m pretttttyyyy sure I could jump on this caramel + rice krispie treat thang.
Holy caramel! These looks so gooey and spectacular!

These look incredible! I will make a pan of these when the husband is at work and the child at school, then hide the pan so I don’t have the guilt of not sharing! I can’t wait to make these!
Looks so sinful! I didn’t know they could get any better! You proved me wrong!
Ah yes, the awkward silence. Revel in it Shelly. Silence is your FRIEND.
And these treats are my friend. Maybe you should bring them along on outings? Stuff them in your mouth when you feel like you need to say unnecessary words 😉
I loooove that caramel!!
Oh My GAWD. I NEED THESE.
Oh my goodness these look amazing!!! I’ve never seen anything like these!
I’ve been craving good old fashioned rice krispie squares lately and this is totally just taking me over the top!
This is so me! I love RKTreats. I think I’ve told you this before and you always make the best ones…with whole marshmallows and caramel stuffed in…NICE!
I used to come here for the recipes, which of course I still do because every single one is PHENOMENAL, but your blog posts keep me coming back. You are hilarious! Has anyone given you a book deal yet? You need a cookbook and a memoir! I would buy both hahah
Wow, and wow!! These look incredible!
Just to point out, you have the Rice Krispies divided into 4, 4, and 2 cups, and the marshmallows in half. They should be the other way around, according to the instructions.
My sister made a similar recipe for a family reunion a few years ago. She made another pan the next day because the first one was devoured. I can attest to how yummy these are.
Yes! good catch! I mixed up the marshmallows and krispies in the recipe! All fixed now! Thanks for letting me know 🙂
You’re welcome–it was pretty clear that it was just a mix-up, but I know that sometimes I just skim a recipe and *think* I know how to make it, and then have a problem because I didn’t read it completely. 🙂
I had planned to make RK bars today, but when melting my marshmallows and butter, rather than turn into a smooth, creamy pool, it morphed into a gelatinous mass that looked kind of like chewed gum. My marshmallows weren’t stale, so I don’t know what happened. Since I had the RK in the bowl already, I just made Scotcheroo bars instead. I was annoyed that I had to dump my marshmallow/butter mess in the garbage, but suppose that it could have been worse–I could have had to dump the bowl, too!
