Caramel Krispie Crunchie Bars
"I am always searching for this recipe so I decided to post this to prevent my loss of it forever. I am always asked for this recipe when I bring it places. This is a recipe that came from my grandmother and I LOVE them! They are picky at times and can turn out over cruncy but we've found that 10 seconds or so in the microwave make them perfect again! I haven't seen this one on Recipezaar yet. A few tips: Follow the 'counts', this ratio works; make sure to use LOW heat; margarine works better than butter; cover as soon as you finish pressing into pan.
Note: Cooking time includes possible stovetop time"
