Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

This is one of my many Rice Krispies Treat variations on the blog and it is such a simple way to transform a classic recipe. Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats are great for a fall dessert and can be made in 15-20 minutes from start to finish. Everyone will go nuts for these, promise!

Main Ingredients Needed

This is a family-friendly recipe that only takes a couple of minutes to make and a handful of ingredients. It’s also nearly fail-proof! Here’s what you need to make the perfect Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats.

• Rice Krispies – crunchy puffy cereal.
• Marshmallows – what sweetens this recipe and helps everything stick together.
• Butter – salted or unsalted. I’d recommend salted to help balance out the sweetness. You can also brown your butter for a nutty taste.
• Caramels – these are those candy soft caramels you can find in the snack section of your grocery store.
• Heavy Cream – this helps the caramel become creamy and a consistency that is perfect for drizzling.
• Coarse Salt – sprinkled on top for the balance to all of the sweet. Coarse salt looks better and there is less of a chance of overloading your bars with salt.

How to Make Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats

1. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
3. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered fingers, spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into prepared dish. Set aside.
4. In a small bowl, microwave caramels and cream until thoroughly melted and smooth. Cut into squares and drizzle with caramel and sprinkle with salt.
5. Best if served the same day.
