Rice Crispy Treats

I had a bunch of rice crispies leftover from the Chocolate Peanut Butter Crispy Bars recipe, so what did I make?  Yup, Rice Crispy Treats.  

But not your usual marshmallow-y ones, I used a recipe that calls for sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar and corn syrup.  They are not as sweet as the traditional ones and have a more caramel-y flavor.

Here is the recipe:

Terri's Rice Crispy Treats
Makes one 13”x9” pan

16 ounces puffed rice cereal

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1¾ cups corn syrup

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Place the rice cereal in a bowl and spray a 13”x9” pan with nonstick spray.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and corn syrup and boil for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the sweetened condensed milk, then boil an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the syrup mixture over the rice cereal and mix well.

Fill the baking pan with the mixture and allow the mixture to cool, then cut into squares. Wrap the treats tightly in plastic wrap if not serving immediately.

[If they come out too soft and don't hold together, boil the mixture a little longer next time!]
