Combining two of my favorite sweet treats into one with this delicious recipe! It's sweet, salty, and terrible for you. I love salted caramel so much. I have a really hard time saying no to anything salted caramel. I made these. Kept 3 and gave them away. They're TOO good.

How To Make salted caramel rice krispie treats

Step 1

Spray a 9x13 glass pan with non-stick spray. Also spray a rubber scraper. In a large bowl measure out marshmallows and butter.

Step 2

Microwave for about 2 minutes, until marshmallows are super soft and expanding.
Step 3

Using your now-non-stick rubber scraper, stir the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture.
Step 4

Once well mixed, transfer to the 9x13 pan and gently press in until the treats are as even as possible.
Step 5

Once they're cooling in the pan, pour the caramel cubes into a microwave-safe dish and add the milk.
Step 6

Microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds after the first minute.
Step 7

Cubes won't necessarily look melted, but once you begin stirring them, they'll run smoothly.
Step 8

Once they're smooth, pour over the Rice Krispies treats.
Step 9

Use your rubber scraper to smooth the caramel over the top until even.
Step 10

Sprinkle on coarse sea salt and let cool completely.
Step 11

Once cooled, cut into equal portions and enjoy.
