Caramelized Rice Krispies Treats
From SugarSpunRun [1]
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
10 ounces marshmallows
7 cups crisped rice cereal
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate, for drizzle (optional)
Up to 1/2 teaspoon additional flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)
Directions
- Prepare a 13" X 9" saucepan by greasing the bottom and sides with butter. Set aside.
- In large saucepan, melt together butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream on medium-low heat, stirring constantly. Once butter is melted, increase heat to medium and whisk 2 minutes (do not allow to come to a boil). Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in salt and vanilla. Stir in marshmallows, stirring constantly until completely melted. Stir in cereal, ensuring ingredients are well combined and cereal is entirely coated by caramel mixture.
- Spread into prepared pan.
- Melt chocolate in microwave by heating at 15-second increments and stirring regularly.
- Drizzle chocolate over cereal in pan.
- Allow to sit until chocolate hardens (this can be expedited by placing treats in refrigerator). Cut and serve.
