Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
- Flaky sea salt (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan: Start by greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it’s completely liquefied. Be careful not to let it brown.
- Add the Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until they are completely melted and combined with the butter.
- Mix in the Salted Caramel: When the marshmallows are smooth, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in your salted caramel sauce until fully integrated.
- Combine with Rice Krispies: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly, ensuring that all the cereal is coated with the gooey mixture.
- Transfer to the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased), press the mixture down evenly into the pan. Don’t pack it too tightly, or your treats will be hard.
- Sprinkle with Sea Salt: While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
- Let it Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm enough to cut into squares.
- Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut the treats into squares or rectangles. Enjoy your Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats as a delightful snack or dessert!
