Ingredients
- 6 cups rice krispie cereal
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 ounces mini marshmallows plus 1 cup of additional mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine cereal with the 1 additional cup of mini marshmallows. Set aside. Spray an 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once butter is melted, add brown sugar, whipping cream, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly and scraping the bottom. Once caramel thickens, add salt and stir until combined.
- Remove from heat and add the 10 oz bag of marshmallows. Stir until all marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Pour mixture over cereal and marshmallows. Mix until combined. Press mixture into the 9x13 pan. Cover and cool completely before cutting.

Notes
- One tip when you make these — make sure you have all your ingredients measured out first. You want to get the sauce on the cereal as quickly as possible, while it's still hot, so it's easier to have everything measured out.
- I like to mix the sauce and the cereal in a large bowl using two wooden spoons. When pressing the treats into the pan, make sure to spray your hands with a little cooking spray, otherwise you'll end up with more treats on your hands than in the pan.
- For extra thick Rice Krispie treats, you can use an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking dish, instead of a 9x13 pan.
- You can speed up the cooling process by covering the pan and sticking it the freezer for about 20 minutes. Store these treats covered and at room temperature. You're gonna love them!
