CANDY BARS
Ingredients:
- 1 lb block of soft caramel
- 1 lb chocolate or chocolate-flavored candy coating
- 1.5 cups crisped rice cereal
Preparation:
1.
Cut the caramel into small bars about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Place the bars on a baking sheet lined with foil that has been sprayed
with nonstick cooking spray, and refrigerate the bars until they are
firm.
2. Melt the chocolate or candy coating in a medium bowl the microwave, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir in the crisped rice cereal.
3. Take one caramel bar and dip it into the chocolate mixture. I find it works best to lay it in the bowl and sort of spoon the chocolate and crisped rice over it, since the chocolate mixture is so chunky. Once the caramel is covered with chocolate and crispies, replace it on the foil-lined baking sheet.
4. Repeat with remaining caramel and chocolate. You will probably have some of the chocolate left over. If you'd like, you can drop this in spoonfuls onto a baking sheet to make clusters, or spread it thin and break it apart once set to make bark.
5. Refrigerate the bars to set the chocolate, for about 30 minutes. These bars should be served at room temperature for best taste and texture, so that the caramel is soft and supple. Keep Million Dollar Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
