fall caramel bars

If you like caramel corn, you’ll love these super-easy, super-tasty bars. We usually eat them plain but for a special treat you can add a layer of melted chocolate, popcorn or dried fruit. They can even be cut or sculpted into fun holiday shapes – think leaves or jack-o-lanterns for fall – and decorated with icing and candy.

This recipe is adapted from one we found on the inside of a Kellogg’s Rice Krispies box years ago.

What you’ll need:

170 g gluten free caramels (we use 25 of the square Kraft caramels)

1 Tablespoon butter

1 Tablespoon milk

2 cups gluten free crispy rice cereal (we use nature’s path)

Optional Add Ins: ¼ cup chocolate chips, candies, nuts, dried fruit – you get the picture.

What you’ll do:

Place caramels, butter and milk in large microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute. Remove and stir.

Repeat step one until the caramels are melted. Our microwave takes 2 minutes.

Remove from microwave and add crispy rice. Stir until coated.

Let cool slightly and stir in any add ins.

Cut or sculpt into shapes or press into lightly greased 9 x 9 pan and let cool.
