Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter salted
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows (1 large bag)
- 8 ounces soft caramel candies
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/8 teaspoon salt or more to taste, flakey
Instructions
- Spray an 8×8 inch baking dish with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the marshmallows, then reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted. Mix in the caramel candies and vanilla, and stir until caramel is melted and completely combined with marshmallows.
- Fold in rice krispies until they are combined. Then pour the mixture into the dish and use greased hands to pat down so that it takes the shape of the dish.Tip: spray your hands with cooking spray (like Pam) to keep from getting sticky.
- Sprinkle the salt sparingly over the top. Allow to set for 1 hour, or 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator. Cut into 12 squares, or 9 extra large squares, and enjoy.

- Butter – Unsalted butter will work, also.
- Marshmallows - Regular size marshmallows will work, too, but they'll take longer to melt. Just keep stirring, low and slow.
