Tips to Make This Fall Snack
- Make sure your rice krispies have cooled completely before putting on the icing or then you’ll just have a mess and not neat stripes.
- Measure the marshmallows and cereal exactly for this easy fall snack. Seriously. I know you’re rolling your eyes, because it’s JUST marshmallows and cereal, but seriously, if you want the caramel apple rice krispies treats to cut into squares and not be hard or morph into, well, non-square shapes, learn from my past mistakes and measure.

Ingredients
- 3 C. Rice Krispies or off-brand crisped rice cereal
- 5 oz of mini marshmallows (about half of a 10 oz bag)
- 3 tbsp. butter, cut into 1 tbsp. chunks

- 2 tsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Line a baking dish with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Heat the mini marshmallows and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Once the marshmallow and butter begin to melt, add in the apple chips.
- Allow the marshmallows to melt about 3/4 of the way and then fold in the cereal. Don't let the marshmallows melt completely as this will lead to hard Rice Krispie treats
- Pour the mixture into the baking dish and press down with the back of a spoon and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan allow the caramels, butter and sweetened condensed milk melt while stirring occasionally.
- Once the mixture has melted drizzle over the top of the Rice Krispie Treats and allow the caramel to set.
