SALTED CARAMEL RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Salted caramel is one of the few treats that rivals my love for rice krispies treats. Combine the two into one addictive, chewy, incredible dessert? YES, all the yes. Every person I’ve made these for has begged for the recipe, so I knew I better get it posted ASAP!

These are SO GOOD and they are nice and easy to make, only taking about 15 minutes from start to finish. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but you may never make plain rice krispies treats ever again!

Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats
yields one 9×13 pan

Ingredients:

  • 20 oz. mini marshmallows, set aside 2 cups (I buy two 10 oz bags)

  • 10 cups rice krispies treats cereal

  • 1 cup butter

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 T corn syrup

  • 2 t flaky salt (kosher or sea salt), plus extra for sprinkling on top

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, measure out rice krispies and 2 cups of the mini marshmallows. Gently toss to combine and set aside.

  2. Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.

  3. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter on medium-high heat, stirring constantly.

  4. Once melted, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the brown sugar, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and cook (stirring frequently to avoid scorching) until it starts to thicken, roughly 7 minutes.

  5. Once the caramel has thickened into a syrupy consistency, stir in the salt.

  6. Remove from heat and stir in the mini marshmallows until they are fully combined and melted into the caramel. Quickly pour over the rice krispies mixture and stir to combine.

  7. Once all the cereal is coated completely, pour the mixture into the prepared 9×13 inch pan and gently press into pan (do not press the cereal down hard, or your rice krispies treats will be tough and taste stale).

  8. Sprinkle with flaky salt and let cool before cutting (I typically put my pan in the fridge or freezer to cool them down more quickly). Enjoy!
