Notes
- Butter -- for extra salty-sweet flavor, use salted butter.
- Marshmallows -- use mini marshmallows in this recipe.
- Rice Krispies -- use any type of crisp rice cereal like Rice Krispies.
- Caramel Sauce -- I suggest using a thicker caramel sauce like you find at Trader Joe's. For a thicker caramel sauce, you can also use caramel dip.
- Sea Salt Flakes -- I love to use Maldon sea salt flakes.
