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.

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!
