**Baby Ruth Slices**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 cup caramel sauce
– 1 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
– 1 cup mini marshmallows
– 1 cup crispy rice cereal
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set it aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
3. Once the chocolate and peanut butter are well combined, stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Spread half of this chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the refrigerator to set for about 10-15 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix together the caramel sauce, chopped roasted peanuts, mini marshmallows, and crispy rice cereal until everything is evenly coated.
6. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and spread the caramel mixture on top of the set chocolate layer.
7. Gently press down the caramel mixture to form an even layer. Then, pour the remaining chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer, spreading it out to cover the top completely.
8. Return the dish to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the slices are set and firm.
9. Once the slices are fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the whole block out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into individual bars or squares.
10. Serve your delicious Baby Ruth Slices and enjoy the sweet, nutty goodness with friends and family!
