Chocolate Caramel Rice Crispy Cakes Recipe

Ingredients

This delicious Chocolate Caramel Rice Crispy Cakes recipe requires a few simple ingredients. To make the rice crispy cakes you will need: 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup of light corn syrup, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 1/2 cups of crispy rice cereal, 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of caramel bits and 1/4 cup of chopped pecans (optional).

Instructions

To begin, grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
