Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats with Dark Chocolate
Description
The Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats with Dark Chocolate start by melting unsalted butter with marshmallows and salted caramel sauce to form a sticky, sweet base. Mixing in Rice Krispies cereal provides a light, crispy texture. After pressing the mixture evenly into a greased baking dish, a smooth layer of melted dark chocolate is spread over the top. Sprinkling fleur de sel adds a finishing salty note that balances the sweetness.
This treat is no-bake aside from melting chocolate and works well as a snack or dessert. The contrast of chewy caramel-infused cereal with bitter dark chocolate and salt creates a satisfying complexity in texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at cool room temperature or refrigerate to prevent the chocolate topping from melting, especially in warm conditions.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 10 ounce marshmallow bag
- ½ cup caramel sauce salted
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 12 ounces dark chocolate finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- fleur de sel for sprinkling
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.
- Melt the butter, marshmallows and salted caramel sauce together in a large pot over low heat.
- Add the Rice Krispies and stir together until evenly moistened. Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and, using oiled hands, press the mixture into an even layer. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until completely smooth and melted. Pour over the Rice Krispies mixture and spread into an even layer with an offset spatula. Sprinkle fleur de sel over top. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature, or in the refrigerator. (If it's particularly warm in your kitchen, the chocolate topping may melt.)
Notes
- For best texture, thoroughly coat the Rice Krispies with the melted marshmallow and caramel mixture before pressing into the pan.
- Sprinkle fleur de sel evenly over the chocolate while still warm to create a contrasting flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at cool room temperature; refrigerate if your kitchen is warm to keep the chocolate from melting.
