Instructions

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Unwrap all of the caramels. Set aside 10 of the caramels to use for later. Place remaining caramels in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30 second increments; stirring well after each until melted. Set aside.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once melted, remove pot from heat. Stir in 5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows and the melted caramel. Stir until mostly combined. (It won't be fully combined/smooth and that is okay.)
Stir in the Rice Krispie cereal and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt. Once it's almost fully mixed add in the remaining mini marshmallows. Fold until combined then pour into prepared pan. Spread out evenly while gently pressing down to fit into the pan.
Melt the remaining 10 caramels in a microwave-safe bowl then drizzle all over the Rice Krispie treats in pan. Sprinkle another 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt evenly over the top (optional.) Let the treats cool. Gently lift treats out of pan with the sides of the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve!
