Snicker Rice Krispie Bars

These are incredible. I tried them for the first time one day for an after school snack and they were a big hit with my boys.  Each time I've made them since, they are always a hit.  You can't just have one.  I tweaked the original recipe some to make it more yummy.

1/4 cup butter
5 cups mini marshmallows
5 1/2 cups rice krispie cereal
1/2 cup salted peanuts
16 oz. 1 1/2 11 oz. bags caramels (I use the caramel bites)
3 TBS Heavy Cream
4 cups chocolate chips
2/3 cup Peanut Butter

1.  Melt your butter or margarine over medium low heat in a large sauce pan.
2.  Add in marshmallows and still together till marshmallows are completely melted.
3.  Pour in your rice krispie cereal and stir together till cereal is completely coated.
4.  Pour cereal in to a bar pan and press down evenly (don't squish too much).
5.  Sprinkle peanuts evenly over the top of the rice krispie treats.
6.  In a medium sized sauce pan combine caramels and heavy cream over medium heat.
7.  Stir until caramel is melted and smooth.
8.  Pour caramel evenly over the top of rice krispie treats.
9.  Melt chocolate chips along with peanut butter in microwave.  Stir until smooth.
10. Pour chocolate mixture over the carmel layer and spread evenly.
11. Let chocolate set completely and cut into little squares.  Enjoy!
