Chewy Caramel Rice Crispy Treats with Chocolate Chips

Chewy Caramel Rice Crispy Treats with Chocolate Chips

Have I got a treat for you! I CAN”T BELIEVE I HAVEN”T SHARED THIS RECIPE YET!!!!!

Every year my mom would make these for our family reunion and it would kill me, and I mean kill me to wait until we got there to be able to eat any.

The chewy caramel texture is just more then I can handle, add in the chocolate chips and well, I’m ready to marry a rice crispy treat.

I usually use a store bought package of caramels, but last time I made them I used homemade caramel instead and it was mind blowing….don’t get me wrong they are still fab with the store bought caramels, but if you feel like taking it over the top or just happen to have some homemade caramels hiding somewhere, give it a try it’s fabulous!

Chewy and awesome, makes a lot. We cut them in squares and individually wrap them for reunions or family gatherings. We love to use mini Hershey Kisses instead of chocolate chips.

    Stop. It! I am trying to lose weight here! I can just feel my teeth biting into the chewy texture just by looking at the pictures. Homemade caramel to top it off? Forget about it, my diet is toast.

    I’m confused about the 1 cube butter. Is that 1 tbsp?

      Hi Diane, it is actually (a whole stick) 1/2 cup of butter. My mom always called it a cube of butter and sometimes I slip and forget that not everyone knows what a cube of butter is. 🙂 I hope you enjoy the rice crispy treats, they’re one of our favorites.

    Is it the kind of caramels you unwrap? Or can you use a bag of caramel bits…which I don’t know if the bits would melt? Thank you. Its driving me crazy looking at the pictures.

      Hi Lisa, I have always used the type you unwrap so I can’t, with confidence, say if the bits would work or not.
