    Spray a 9x13 glass pan with non-stick spray. Also spray a rubber scraper.
  • 2
    In a large bowl measure out marshmallows and butter. Microwave for about 2 minutes, until marshmallows are super soft and expanding like crazy lol
  • 3
    Using your now-non-stick rubber scraper, stir the Rice Krispie cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Once well mixed, transfer to the 9x13 pan and gently press in until the treats are as even as possible.

    Once they're cooling in the pan, pour the caramel bits into a microwave-safe dish and add the milk. Microwave for about 1 minute. Bits won't necessarily look melted, but once you begin stirring them, they'll run smooth. If they don't, put back in the microwave for another 15 seconds.

    Once they're smooth, pour over the Rice Krispie Treats and use your rubber scraper to smooth the caramel over the top until even, Sprinkle on coarse sea salt and let cool completely.
