Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
  • 4 cups marshmallows (about 10 oz)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • ½ cup caramel sauce
  • Optional: Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Gather all ingredients measured and ready because the marshmallow mixture needs your full attention.
  2. Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter first. Once melted, add marshmallows and stir continuously until they become smooth and fully melted. This creates the sticky base that holds your treats together.
  3. Add Chocolate and Cinnamon: Remove the pan from heat and immediately stir in the cinnamon, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. The residual heat will slightly melt the chocolate chips, infusing the mix with rich chocolate flavor without losing the gooey texture.
  4. Mix in Rice Krispies: Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal, folding them gently but thoroughly until each crisp is coated evenly with the marshmallow-chocolate mixture.
  5. Press Into Pan and Chill: Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan and press it down firmly and evenly using a greased spatula or wax paper to avoid sticking. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set.
  6. Drizzle with Caramel: Once set, remove from the fridge and drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to elevate the flavors. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff for the best texture and flavor.
  • Stir constantly when melting marshmallows to prevent burning or sticking.
  • Press the mixture evenly with wax paper to avoid sticky hands and get a smooth finish.
  • Chill the treats thoroughly to help them hold their shape and improve chewiness.
  • Warm caramel slightly if it’s too thick for easier drizzling.
