Caramel Crunch Bars

                   

I'll post the recipe here for those who might not want to go to the site itself but this was exactly the one I followed: Kraft Caramel Crunch Bars. As you can see, mine don't look as pretty. I think I used too many toppings because some of them are loose but it still tastes yummy.

What You Need

4-1/2 HONEY MAID Honey Grahams
1 pkg.  (11 oz.) KRAFT Caramel Bits
2 Tbsp. milk
1/2 cup  PLANTERS COCKTAIL Peanuts
1/2 cup JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
1/2 cup  coarsely crushed pretzels
4 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

Make It


LINE 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Grease foil generously with shortening. Place grahams on bottom of pan, cutting to fit if necessary.
MICROWAVE caramel bits and milk in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until caramel bits are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring every 30 sec. Pour over grahams; top with next 3 ingredients. Drizzle with chocolate.
REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour. Use foil handles to remove dessert from pan before cutting into bars to serve.
