For topping:
- 300 g dark chocolate I use a mixture of 50% and 70% cocoa
- 1 tablespoon butter 15g
Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper and very lightly spray with oil spray or grease with oil.
Place the butter, dulce de leche and marshmallows into a large saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until melted. This process will take about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt and stir to combine.
4 tablespoons butter, ⅔ cup dulce de leche, 200 g mini marshmallows, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch of salt
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the rice krispies until everything is well coated.
5 cups rice krispies
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and very gently use the back of a spoon to coax the mixture into the corners of the pan so that everything is evenly distributed but not too heavily compacted.
For the chocolate topping:
Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set above a pan of gently simmering water until melted; stir to combine. Alternatively melt in 20 second bursts in the microwave.
300 g dark chocolate, 1 tablespoon butter
Pour the chocolate mixture over the top of the rice krispie treats and spread out evenly with a spatula. Leave to set in the fridge for about an hour before cutting into squares. We recommend running your knife under hot water before cutting - this ensures that you get nice clean cuts.
- Gently warm the dulce de leche mix with marshmallows slowly, it will help keep the treats soft.
- Use either a bain marie or microwave for melting the chocolate topping.
- Line the baking tin for easier removal.
