Crispy Caramel Brownie Treats

So I'm kind of cheating with this one, but here's a link to the treat we made at our sleepover last night. Six out of seven girls age 10 and under absolutely LOVED this treat. It was fun and easy to make.

Crispy Caramel Brownie Treats

1 brownie mix of choice 9x13 size

3/4 c caramel ice cream topping

3 c mini marshmallows

2 Tb butter

3-1/2 c Rice Krispies cereal

1 c semi sweet chocolate chips

2 Tb coconut oil (or heavy cream)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare brownie mix according to package directions. As soon as they are done baking, remove from oven and drizzle with caramel ice cream topping. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt marshmallows and butter until puffed up. Stir in cereal until well combined. Quickly place over brownie and gently spread over top. Place chocolate chips into a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth. Pour and drizzle over top of brownies. Let cool, then cut into squares. Try not to eat the whole pan in one sitting. (I added that last part.)

We had these yummy things for our oh-so-healthy breakfast the next morning. I'm sure the mom of our sleepover friends appreciates all the sugar I feed her girls while they're here. Hey, we had carrot sticks with dinner.
