Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Assemble all ingredients to ensure an efficient cooking process and accurate measurements.
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, slowly melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until fully liquefied.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Pour 1 cup of caramel sauce into the melted butter and stir thoroughly to combine into a smooth mixture.
- Mix in Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, stirring carefully to coat all cereal pieces evenly with the caramel-butter mixture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Quickly fold in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the cereal mixture before the caramel sets.
- Press into Dish: Transfer the sticky mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Use a spatula or hands to press down firmly and evenly to compact the treats.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for no less than 1 hour to firm up before slicing into 12 servings.
Notes
- For easier cutting, line the baking dish with parchment paper extending over the edges.
- Use fresh caramel sauce for a smooth and rich texture.
- Press the mixture firmly to ensure the treats hold together well.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
