Deluxe Rice Krispie Cake

These are a cinch to whip up. Maybe one or two of these in a lunch might make the first day back to school a little sweeter?

Cake:
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 40 large marshmallows (5 cups mini)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 6 cups rice krispies


Filling:
- 1/4 cup margarine
- 1 pkg caramels
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- chocolate chips


Make the filling recipe first, so it's ready to go. Melt first 3 ingredients together. Keep warm. Then make cake recipe. Melt margarine and marshmallows together. Add vanilla, then mix with rice krispies. Put half of cake in greased 9 x 13 pan. Pour filling over cake, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. (Milk chocolate chips are best, but semi-sweet work well too). Press remaining cake recipe on top and let cool.

* I found the filling recipe to be too much for one cake, so it could be halfed (but what do you do with half a can of sweetened condensed milk?) or make two pans of cake and give one to a friend. :)
