Preparation

Step 1

Butter a 9x13 cake pan. Prepare top and bottom layers as you would Rice Krispies treats, in two batches. Warm caramel layer in microwave over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Bottom Layer:
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
6 cups mini marshmallows (use a little over half the bag if you don't want to measure...the sun will still rise if it isn't exact)
3 Tbsp butter

Prepare and press lightly in pan, don't pack it down.

Middle Layer:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
14 ounces caramel (1 bag Kraft caramels~about 50, unwrapped)
2 Tbsp butter

Melt til smooth, pour evenly over bottom layer.

Top Layer:
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
2 Tbsp butter
4 cups mini marshmallows, (remaining marshmallows of the 16 ounce bag)

Prepare and drop blobs evenly over caramel layer.

Cool to set. Cover and refrigerate.

**Note~ the caramel will want to ooze around in warmer temperatures, so during camping season these are best refrigerated.
