Equipment

Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9"x13” baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  • Place 5 1/2 cups of rice crispy cereal in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
  • Add ⅔ of the caramel melts and a pinch of flaky salt. Stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the mini marshmallows and continue stirring until completely melted. Reserve a handful of marshmallows for garnish.
  • Remove from heat and quickly fold in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes, then gently press the mixture into an even layer.
  • Let cool to room temperature.
  • Top with a few extra mini marshmallows. Melt the remaining caramel and drizzle over the bars. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Let the caramel set, then cut into bars.

Notes

  • Spraying your hands or a silicone spatula helps prevent sticking when pressing the mixture down.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
