These Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The gooey caramel blends perfectly with the crispy Rice Krispies, while a sprinkle of sea salt on top gives them an extra layer of flavor. The treats are simple yet indulgent, making them a fun and easy dessert or snack for any occasion.
- Ingredients:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for garnish)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in the caramel sauce and vanilla extract, continuing to cook and stir for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, making sure to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow-caramel mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down gently to pack the treats tightly.
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Once cooled, sprinkle the sea salt evenly on top and, if desired, add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
- Cut into squares or bars and serve.
