6. In another bowl, melt milk chocolate chips and peanut butter together in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
7. Pour chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly with a spatula.

Notes
Use fresh marshmallows for the best melt and texture.
Refrigerate for cleaner cuts and neater layers.
Grease your hands or spatula when pressing the rice layer — it makes shaping easier.
