Just the like the childhood classic recipe you remember, but so much better! Homemade caramel sauce is stuffed in between layers of Rice Krispie squares making this a go-to-dessert recipe everyone loves.
Add 3 tablespoons butter to a large saucepan over low heat. Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat. Add in 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal. Stir to combine.
Add mixture to the greased baking pan. Press mixture down evenly using a piece of waxed paper. Set aside to cool.
Caramel Layer
Add caramels, sweetened condensed milk and butter to a medium saucepan over low heat. Heat, stirring often, until melted.
Pour caramel layer over the first Rice Krispies layer in the baking pan. Set aside to cool.

Notes
I used Werther's Soft Creme Caramels. Kraft Caramels or any soft caramel candy would also work.
