You guys know how much we love crispy rice treats around here. My secret to making them extra gooey (because that’s the best) is adding less cereal to the marshmallows. Trust me you won’t miss the extra cereal in these bars. The addition of salted caramel on top is the real winner here. You can use store bought caramel sauce or make your own if you have time. Scroll down to get the recipe for these salted caramel crispy rice treats!
Salted Caramel Crispy Rice Treats
These crispy rice treats are so easy to make and perfect for a fall treat. We love making different versions of these bars, but this one might be my all time favorite. You can also find a recipe on The GR Guide for Brown Butter and Sea Salt Crispy Rice Treats. These ones are a classic with a nutty flavor from the brown butter.
Salted Caramel Crispy Rice Treats
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 10 oz bag Mini Marshmallows
- 5 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1-2 tbsp Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13 pan with butter. If you want thicker bars (which I prefer) you can make this in a smaller pan. I used a 8×10.5 pan for these bars. Make sure to grease the sides of the pan as well to make sure the bars don't stick. Set the pan aside.
- In a large pot melt the butter. Once the butter is melted add the mini marshmallows and stir until melted.
- Mix in the Crispy Rice Cereal until everything is mixed together.
- Press the mixture into your prepared pan. I find a silicone spatula helps to spread the mixture in the pan.
- Allow to cool for an hour and then drizzle with caramel sauce and top with the sea salt.
I did store bought caramel sauce to save on time, but you could totally make your own. This recipe from Ree Drummond is great for an easy caramel sauce. Let me know if you make these crispy rice treats by leaving a comment below. I would love to hear your feedback! Thanks friends.
