Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats Under 20 Mins

Rice Krispie Treats with Caramel

I went to a family party the other night and my Aunt Cathie made these amazing treats! They were so delicious and I couldn’t stop snacking on them! I absolutely HAD to ask her for the recipe! Turns out she got it from a blog called Pink Polka Dot Creations. We made them at our house right away! These Caramel Rice Krispie Bars are so chewy and SO yummy! The salted caramel adds such a rich flavor to the original recipe. I just love the combination of salty and sweet in this no bake treat!

Ingredients in Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Cereal – the original cereal always seems to work out best. butter – I like to use unsalted but either will work brown sugar – light brown heavy whipping cream – or heavy cream (don’t try to use half and half or milk) light corn syrup kosher salt – you could also sprinkle on a little flaky sea salt over the top mini marshmallows – some for melting and some whole pieces

Recipe Tips

One tip when you make these — make sure you have all your ingredients measured out first. You want to get the caramel sauce on the cereal as quickly as possible, while it’s still hot, so it’s easier to have everything measured out. I like to mix the sauce and the cereal in a large bowl using two wooden spoons. When pressing the treats into the pan, make sure to spray your hands with a little non-stick cooking spray, otherwise you’ll end up with more treats on your hands than in the pan. You can speed up the cooling process by covering the pan and sticking it the freezer for about 20 minutes. Store these treats covered and at room temperature in an airtight container. You’re gonna love them! For a fun twist you can also sprinkle on little sea salt or drizzle on a little caramel as a finishing touch.
