Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 5 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel melts
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Line a 9x13” baking dish with foil and give it a light mist of nonstick spray so everything pops out easily later.
  • In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Once it’s melted, stir in about two-thirds of the caramel melts along with a good pinch of flaky sea salt. Keep stirring until everything is smooth and glossy.
  • Add in the mini marshmallows (save a small handful for the top!) and stir until melted and gooey.
  • Take the pot off the heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies. Stir until every last piece is coated in that caramel-marshmallow goodness.
  • Scoop the mixture into your prepared pan. Let it sit for a minute or two (it’ll be hot!), then lightly coat your hands with nonstick spray and press it into an even layer.
  • Let the bars cool at room temp. Once set, top with those reserved mini marshmallows.
  • Melt the remaining caramel and drizzle it right over the top. Sprinkle with flaky salt while the caramel is still warm so it sticks.
  • Once everything’s set, lift the foil out of the pan and slice into bars. Done and done!
