Scale
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
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Once the butter has melted, add 1 cup of caramel sauce to the saucepan and stir well to combine into a smooth mixture.
- Mix Cereal and Caramel: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently to coat the cereal evenly with the caramel butter mixture.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until they are well distributed throughout the mixture but not fully melted.
- Press into Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture into a lined 9×13 inch baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish.
- Cool and Set: Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes to begin setting, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully firm up before cutting into squares for serving.
Notes
- For easier removal, line the baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips if preferred.
- Make sure to press the mixture firmly to prevent crumbling when cutting.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
