For the sake of me I have renamed this recipe to my liking but If we want to be technical about it, it is actually called Caramel Marshmallow Chocolate Dipped Krispy Treats. A mouth-full i know but seriously i prefer my name and that is Krispie Dreams. Sounds delicious right? This recipe is actually easy to make but you need certain things, like before you can even think about making these for the kid you babysit that lives next door you absolutely need a candy thermometer i can tell you right now that thing is so beautiful and make this reciper easier than robbing a bank. Oh and patience if you don't have that walk away now ....good now for those still left get ready to make some dreams come true. Just so you know i didnt invent this recipe I just found it and made it credit goes to bonnie who has her own blog and just follow this link and you can see the rest of her recipes http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhzA3J_LpXE3egeSSR74DRg26NfHAzuT0LmMEUBVDN7QYODtEjkcS275b41PbnRipopjk5A1coLkAZ9Rg5Qra0lxmOcfSNTpk7pM-1DbmLDdNYy4fcikGOi6hlyBi_ySAZx6XKIOMDBw/s1600/Rice+krispie+bars+015.jpg&imgrefurl=http://cityhomecountryhome.blogspot.com/2010/12/caramel-marshmallow-chocolate-dipped.html&usg=__9GAui3yWZM4QX4Y_fK9-tZSyGrA=&h=1200&w=1600&sz=334&hl=en&start=1&sig2=PGLe_FP5-x2NzjsTR8sHig&zoom=1&tbnid=pKOClyr8KCsl4M:&tbnh=113&tbnw=150&ei=Z0CmUPGjBuXkygH0xYCgDg&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dcaramel%2Bmarshmallow%2Bchocolate%2Bdipped%2Bcrispy%2Btreats%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26sout%3D1%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1&safe=active&sout=1
Rice Krispy Treats
( Alright now is the time to double this puppy)
3 Tbsp. Butter
10 oz of marshmallows
6 cups of Rice Krispies (or a similar brand)
Melt the buuter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until smooth. Remove from the heat and pour over the rice cereal and stir to coat. Press evenly in a 9x13-inch pan. Repeat to make another pan of treats set aside. *sgt note: you're doubling the ingredients to make 2 pans of rice krispies but don't take them out of the pans yet:
Home made Marshmallows
(Don't Double)
1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
1/2 cups plus 2 Tbsp of light corn syrup (karo brand preferred)
2 envelops (1/4 oz. each) of unflavored powdered gelatin ( knox brand prefered)
3/4 cups water or 6 oz. of water
1/8 tsp. od salt
1/8 tsp of vanilla extract
Spray a 9x13-inch pan with quick release spray . Line with parchment paper and spray it with quick release as well. Set this aside for the extra marshmallow.
Stir the gelatin in 3 oz. of cold water. Set it aside to bloom (soften) while cooking the sugar mixture.
In a heavy saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, place sugar, corn syrup, remaining 3 oz. water and 1/8 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until athe candy thermometer reaches the softball stage. Put gelatin in a mixing bowl. Pour the sugar mixture over the gelatin and beat on high for 15 minutes, until the volume has increased significantly.
Pour a layer of the marshmallow on the top od one pan of Rice Krispy treats. SEt aside about 1 hour to set up. When the marshmallow is set, gently remove the Krispys from both pans and set them on a covered counter.
*Pour the remaining marshmallow into the sprayed and prepared pan. Let these marshmallows sit at least 8 hours. Turn onto a powdered sugar covered surface. Cut into squares with a clean hot knife, or use dental floss. Roll in powdered sugar to keep from sticking. Marshmallows can be dipped into melted chocolate.
Caramel
( Don't Double)
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 cup of light corn syrup (karo brand prefered)
1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream
3 1/2 oz. of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 tsp of fine salt
1 Tbsp. of vanilla extract
Prepare a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper cut to fit the bottom. DO NOT BUTTER THE PAPER. Set aside. *might have extra caramel so prepare a dish for the extra to go.
In a tall heavy saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the sugar and syrup and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Let the sugar syrup continue to boil on medium high heat. In the meantime, in the top of a double boiler combine the whipping cream and condensed milk and scald. When the sugar syru[ begings to turn golden slowly add the cream/milk mixture 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring constantly. Don't let the rolling boil stop. Cook and stir until the mixture reaches 230 degrees F. for sea level (you will need to adjust your altitude).
Take the candy off the heat and stir in the vanilla and the salt. Pour a thin layer (about 1/4 inch)into the prepared pan. Let it stand several hours to firm up. When the candy is firm but still pliable, pick up the parchment with the caramel and turn it upside down onto the remaining pan of krispys. Press down to adhere the caramel/Krispy layer onto the marshmallow/Krispy layer and apply gently pressure to adhere the caramel and marshamllow together. Let set for about 10 minutes and carefully cut into sections with a sharp knife. Melt and temper some dark chocolate and dip one edge of the bar in the chocolate. Let dry and package.
Now you will have a delicious dessert to feed everyone ...even your old cheek-pinching aunty. You will become the favorite child in no time. Enjoy :P!
