Instructions

Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
Fold in the Rice Krispies cereal and mix until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan and let cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Pour over the cooled cereal layer and spread evenly. Let set for 20–30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over the caramel layer.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully set. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Grease hands or spatula before pressing cereal mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer for a sweet-salty finish.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Freeze tightly wrapped bars for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Avoid microwaving after setting, as caramel and chocolate may melt unevenly.
