Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

These were originally "salted caramel", but I didn't want to go overboard on the salt, so I cut it down a lot. It called for 1 full tsp, which seemed like a lot for an 8x8 pan.

Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

6 cups Rice Krispies
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or flaked sea salt
1 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows, plus about 1 cup of additional mini marshmallows

Spray an 8x8″ baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large, heavy pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. When it’s melted, reduce the heat to medium and add the brown sugar, whipping cream, and corn syrup and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the caramel from scorching.

When the caramel is thick and syrupy, add in the salt and stir to combine, then remove from heat and add the 10 ounces of marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are dissolved, then quickly pour in the Rice Krispies and stir quickly to coat completely. Add the last cup of marshmallows and mix to combine.

Press into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely and then cut into squares.
