Ingredients

Scale

Rice Krispie Base

  • 5 Tbsp butter
  • 10 ounces marshmallows
  • 5 cups rice krispie cereal
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Salted Caramel Layer

  • 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 10 ounces caramel candies or caramel bites, unwrapped
  • 5 Tbsp butter
  • Sea salt, to taste

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • Sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent the treats from sticking.
  2. Make the Rice Krispie Base: In a saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. In a large bowl, combine the rice krispie cereal with the marshmallow mixture, stirring well to coat. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the Salted Caramel Sauce: In a separate saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 5 tablespoons butter, and unwrapped caramels. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter and caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and pour the caramel evenly over the rice krispie base. Sprinkle sea salt generously over the caramel. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
  4. Make the Chocolate Drizzle: In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup heavy cream until it just begins to boil, then remove from heat. Place the milk chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Slowly add the hot cream a tablespoon at a time to the chocolate chips, stirring continuously until the mixture reaches a smooth, drizzle-able consistency. Let cool slightly.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Drizzle the chocolate mixture evenly over the caramel layer on the rice krispie treats. Sprinkle additional sea salt on top for garnish. Allow to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh rice krispies for the crispiest texture.
  • For a deeper caramel flavor, use a high-quality butter and caramel candies.
  • Adjust sea salt amount according to your preferred balance of sweetness and saltiness.
  • Allow treats to cool completely before cutting to maintain shape.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
