4.50 from 6 votes
Salted Caramel Rice Crispy Treats with a hint of creamy peanut butter and browned butter! A perfect treat anytime!
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

Method
 

  1. Grease an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan with butter.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the Butter and allow to brown about 5 - 7 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. Add in the Rice Crispies 2 cups at a time and mix quickly until all are well blended.
  5. 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).
  6. Drizzle with the Caramel Sauce and sprinkle with Salt.
  7. Allow to cool, then cut into squares and serve. (Caramel will sink through to bottom, yum)
  8. Can be kept in an airtight container for up to a week.
