Servings 16 - 20

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup 1 stick Butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 10 oz bag 4 cups, Miniature Marshmallows (or 40 large Marshmallows)
  • ½ cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 6 cups Rice Crispy Cereal
  • 2 oz Caramel Sauce I use Bryers Caramel Sauce in the pouch
  • 1 tsp course Sea Salt can also use Margarita Salt, which works well

Instructions
 

  • Grease an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with butter.
  • In a saucepan, melt the Butter and allow to brown about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • In a large microwave proof bowl, add the Browned Butter, Marshmallows and Peanut Butter. Microwave on high for 2 - 3 minutes or until mixture has melted then stir until smooth.
  • Add in the Rice Crispies 2 cups at a time and mix quickly until all are well blended.
  • Using a buttered spoon or spatula, pour mixture into prepared pan, pressing as you go. (I like to put a little butter on my hands and press the mixture until firm).
  • Drizzle with the Caramel Sauce and sprinkle with Salt.
  • Allow to cool, then cut into squares and serve. (Caramel will sink through to bottom, yum)
  • Can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week.
