These treats are quick to make, require minimal ingredients, and are perfect for parties or an indulgent homemade dessert.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1/3 cup salted caramel sauce
  • 6 1/2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Sea salt or fleur de sel (for sprinkling on treats)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Spray a 9×9 inch pan with cooking spray and set it aside to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter, mini marshmallows, and salted caramel sauce together, stirring occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Combine with Cereal: Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow and caramel mixture.
  4. Press into Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly using a spatula or your hands (sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking) to compact the treats.
  5. Sprinkle Salt: Sprinkle sea salt or fleur de sel evenly over the top of the pressed mixture to add a salty contrast to the sweetness.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • You can use a 9×13 inch pan if you prefer thinner treats, but a 9×9 pan yields thicker bars.
  • Spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent the sticky mixture from adhering while pressing the treats into the pan.
  • For extra caramel flavor, drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top after pressing and before sprinkling salt.
  • Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
