Ingredients  


Instructions

  • Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment then spray with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat, then add the sweetened condensed milk and stir continuously until fully incorporated.

  • Add the caramels to the pot and continue stirring until melted, then add the vanilla and salt.

  • Add 6½ cups of mini marshmallows to the pot, reserving the other 2 cups, and stir until melted.

Notes

  • How To Store: Store these krispie treats in an airtight container for up to a week! But I bet any leftovers get eaten up much sooner!
  • How Come My Caramel Rice Krispie Treats Came Out Hard? It could be that the marshmallow mixture was cooked too long or they may have gotten pressed into the pan too hard.
  • Can I Make This Recipe With Cocoa Krispies? Absolutely! I think that would make for a fantastic chocolaty caramel treat!
  • Tips For Perfect Rice Krispies Treats!
    • Don’t press the mixture into the pan too hard! This will likely result in tough, hard rice Krispies treats!
    • Coat your hands with cooking spray or use a piece of parchment paper to gently press the squares into the pan without getting all sticky!
    • Allow the treats to cool completely to allow them to set up before cutting up into squares!
    • Reserving marshmallows to stir in with the cereal allows for added marshmallow flavor! Trust me, it’s a delicious element you don’t want to miss out on!
