I try to rotate my no-bake treats so I always have something to look forward to. While I have plenty to choose from, I have a few standbys I always turn to. 

These Caramilk bars are crunchy yet soft, with the perfect balance of smooth white chocolate and decadent Caramilk. 

Why I love this recipe

  • The perfect make-ahead treat. These bars freeze like a dream and taste just as good a few days after I make them. 
  • 4 key ingredients. And if you’ve tried my healthy peanut butter rice krispy treats, you should have everything on hand. 
  • No oven needed. These no-bake bars come together in minutes. All you have to do is combine the ingredients, refrigerate the bars, then slice them up. 
  • Perfect for Caramilk lovers. If you love Caramilk’s creamy, rich caramel flavor, then you’ll be obsessed with these bars. 

Key Ingredients

  • Rice bubbles/Rice krispies. For the light, crispy texture and to bulk up the bars. I also tested this recipe with crushed biscuits, and while they had a different texture, both were delicious!
  • Cadbury Caramilk chocolate. Either the actual chocolate bar or the Cadbury Caramilk baking chips. 
  • Maple syrup. For sweetness and to bind the bars. If you have access to brown rice syrup or honey, those will also work. 
  • Peanut butter. Smooth and creamy peanut butter with no added sugar. To keep it nut free, use smooth tahini or sunflower seed butter. 
  • White chocolate. Optional, but I love swirling white chocolate with the Caramilk to create an even richer frosting. 

How to make a Caramilk slice

Step 1- Prep. Line a 9×13-inch slice tin with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the rice cereal.

Step 2- Melt the liquids. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and melt until smooth.

Step 3- Shape the bars. Transfer the mixture to the bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to the lined baking pan and press down until even and smooth. Refrigerate the pan.

Step 4- Add the chocolate layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the Caramilk and peanut butter. Heat until the chocolate has melted. Whisk together and pour the chocolate mixture over the bars. If desired, melt the white chocolate and add swirls to the melted Caramilk topping. 

Step 5- Refrigerate and slice. Place the tin back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up, then slice into bars.

Arman’s recipe tips

  • Slice with a sharp, warm knife. My #1 tip for slicing sticky bars is to run a sharp knife under hot water, quickly dry it, and then use that to slice the bars. You’ll want to repeat this step in between each slice to guarantee clean, even cuts.  
  • Leave some parchment paper sticking out. I like to leave at least 2 inches of paper sticking out so the bars are easier to retrieve from the pan.
  • Make them sweeter. I think the Caramilk adds plenty of sweetness, but if you want to make an extra-decadent bar, replace the peanut butter with Lotus Biscoff cookie butter.
  • Add mix-ins. Like walnuts, toasted coconut, or peanut butter chips.

Frequently asked questions

What is Caramilk?

Caramilk is a type of chocolate sold widely in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. It’s made by Cadbury using a combination of white chocolate and caramelized milk powder, giving the chocolate a smooth and creamy caramel flavor. 

Can I make these vegan?

Technically, Caramilk is not vegan, so if you want to make vegan Caramilk slices, you’ll want to swap the Caramilk for vegan white chocolate mixed with Biscoff spread to get roughly the same flavor.

  1. Okay so I just made a batch with Lily’s:
    equal parts white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and chocolate salted caramel chips. For the frosting I omitted the milk chocolate chips.
    It’s chilling now 😬 We’ll see!!

  2. Hi, you can skip my question. If I’d have bothered to notice you were in Australia I would have had my answer. Thanks!

    1. Don’t be silly- MJ, I checked and you can use any chocolate that has a caramel flavor to it, or a mix of white and milk chocolate 🙂

  3. For those of us not from Canada can you explain caramilk? I see several versions of something called caramilk chocolate bar. Thanks!

  4. We don’t have Caramilk Chips in Canada 🙁
    I even tried searching Amazon for them. Your recipe sounds good and I was excited to try it.

  5. Hi!
    Can I use Lily’s chocolate/baking chips? I’m thinking a combo of the milk and white to sub for the Caramilk chips, but maybe just milk will do? Any thoughts?
