Double Decker Candy Bar Rice Krispy Treats

This is a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy and share with friends.

Double Decker Candy Bar Rice Krispy Treats

6 Tbsp. butter
2 (10 oz.) bags mini marshmallows
2 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt
12 c. rice krispies
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 c. chocolate chips
30 pieces mini candy bars (snickers, milky way, twix), cut into pieces

First, you are going to make 2 separate batches of rice krispy treats.  First batch will be bottom layer, covered with chocolate and candy bars and then covered with second batch of rice krispy treats.  It's easier to work in two batches instead of making both at once.

In a saucepan, heat 3 Tbsp. butter until melted.  Add in 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows and stir constantly until melted and smooth.  Once melted, stir in 1 tsp. vanilla and pinch of salt and remove from heat.  Stir in 6 c. rice krispies.  Pour into greased 9x13 pan (with as squared an edge as possible like a cake pan) and press firmly into pan.  (I found using my silpat makes this job the easiest.  You could also try wax paper or parchment paper.)  In a microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and coconut oil for 1 minute.  Stir until smooth.  (This will feel a little more liquid-y than you think is right.)  Spread chocolate over first layer of rice krispy treats.  Sprinkle chopped candy bars over top of melted chocolate.

Prepare next batch of rice krispy treats, using same directions as bolded above.  Spread over candy bars and press firmly into pan.  Allow to cool completely.  Once cool, flip out of pan and cut into squares.
