Chocolate-Peanut-Butter-Caramel Cereal Bars
Here's a risk-free way to get rich quick: Try our easy take on the classic chocolate-caramel butter bars known as millionaire's shortbread. We swap in crispy, marshmallow-laden rice cereal for its base, and add a thin layer of peanut-butter caramel under the chocolate-shell topping. Just invest a little time to let it chill, and it pays off with every extravagant bite.

Cook's Notes
Let the chocolate shell set a few minutes before sprinkling on flaky salt, so it doesn't sink beneath the surface. The savory crunch lends sophistication to this otherwise kid-centric confection.
To speed up step 2, use store-bought caramels. Simply replace the sugar, cream, and two tablespoons of butter with eight ounces of soft caramels, melted down with three tablespoons of heavy cream.
