For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture while it's melting. The salt enhances the sweetness of the caramel and creates a more complex flavor profile. To prevent the treats from sticking to your hands while cutting, lightly grease your knife or pizza cutter with cooking spray before each cut. Store leftover Caramel Crispy Rice Treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crisp texture. They are best enjoyed within 2-3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Prepare your workspace: Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish and a large mixing bowl with cooking spray. Pour the crispy rice cereal into the prepared bowl and set aside near your stovetop. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Craft the Caramel Base: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the caramel bits and butter. Melt over low heat, stirring constantly, until completely smooth. This should take approximately 5 minutes. Add the marshmallows to the melted caramel mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is homogenous and glossy (about 5 minutes).
03
Step
3 mins
Combine and Coat: Immediately pour the hot caramel-marshmallow mixture over the crispy rice cereal in the prepared bowl. Working quickly, stir until the cereal is evenly coated in the caramel. Ensure no dry cereal remains at the bottom of the bowl. (Mixing time: 3 minutes)
04
Step
45 mins
Shape and Cool: Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared baking dish. Lightly coat the back of a spatula or spoon with cooking spray and use it to gently press the mixture into an even, compact layer. Allow the Caramel Crispy Rice Treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares. (Cooling time: 30 minutes - 1 hour)
