### Ingredients for No Bake Crispy Snickers Bars

This recipe uses simple ingredients that are easy to find at any grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need:

#### For the Base:
– **3 cups crispy rice cereal** (like Rice Krispies)
– **1 cup creamy peanut butter**
– **1/2 cup unsalted butter** (melted)
– **1/4 cup powdered sugar**
– **1/2 cup salted peanuts** (roughly chopped, optional but adds great crunch)
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract**

#### For the Caramel Layer:
– **1/2 cup unsalted butter**
– **1/2 cup brown sugar** (packed)
– **1/4 cup heavy cream**
– **1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract**

#### For the Chocolate Coating:
– **1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips** (or dark chocolate if preferred)
– **1/4 cup peanut butter** (for extra richness and smooth texture)

### How to Make No Bake Crispy Snickers Bars

#### Step 1: Make the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the **crispy rice cereal**, **powdered sugar**, and **chopped salted peanuts** (if using). Set aside.

In a separate bowl, melt the **peanut butter** and **unsalted butter** together in the microwave or on the stovetop until smooth and fully combined. Once melted, stir in the **vanilla extract**.

Pour the melted peanut butter and butter mixture over the rice cereal mixture. Stir everything together until the cereal is evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture, and everything is well combined.

Spread the mixture into a **greased 9×13-inch baking dish** or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Press the mixture down firmly to make an even, compact base. You want it to be tightly packed so that the bars hold together when sliced.

#### Step 2: Make the Caramel Layer

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the **unsalted butter**, **brown sugar**, and **heavy cream**. Stir until the mixture comes to a simmer, then let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the caramel to thicken slightly. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

Once the caramel is smooth and bubbling, remove from heat and stir in the **vanilla extract**. Carefully pour the caramel over the peanut butter-cereal base in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly over the surface.

Place the dish in the fridge for at least **30 minutes** to allow the caramel to firm up.

#### Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating

While the caramel layer is setting, melt the **chocolate chips** and **peanut butter** together. You can do this by microwaving the ingredients in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or by using a double boiler on the stovetop. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
