The Story:
I have been on a major Rice Crispy-kick for three reasons. 1: I love them. 2: I bought a two-pound bag at WinCo. 3: I can make them at midnight and not wake up my roommates with my Kitchen Aid.
These sweet treats are a fun mix between childhood and sophisticated taste Plus, cut them into long rectangles and they look a little more grown-up than the tradition square.
Salted Chocolate Caramel Rice Crispy Treats
Ingredients
Caramel:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 1/2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Rice Cereal Treat:
- 1 10 oz bag marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 cups Rice Cereal
Chocolate Ganache:
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
Salt to top
Instructions
-
1. Grease a 9X13 pan.
-
2. Caramel: In a small sauce pan, combine sugar and water.
-
3. Place on medium-high heat and do not stir.
-
4. On another burner, heat heavy cream. You don't want to boil it, just make it so it's not cold.
-
5. Watch the sugar solution until the outer edges start to turn amber. Take off heat and WHISK!
-
7. Add butter and continue whisking. When that is fully combined, add warm cream, salt and whisk! Set aside and relax, the hard part is over.
-
8. Rice Cereal Treat: In the microwave on the stove top, melt marshmallows, butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth and add caramel sauce.
-
9. Stir in Rice Cereal until well combined and dump into your prepared pan. Flatten using a buttered spatula or your buttered fingers.
-
10. Chocolate Ganache: Place chocolate in heat-proof bowl and set aside. Heat cream until it is just about to boil, pour over chocolate and whisk until smooth.
-
11. Let the ganache cool for a few minutes. Then, pour chocolate over your rice cereal layer and shake pan gently to distribute evenly. Let set for a few minutes, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
-
12. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to set. Cut and serve!
-
Note: When sprinkling with salt, use caution. No one wants to taste the ocean in their dessert :

These look amazing and I love that they can be made gluten-free. It’s also great that your recipes can now be saved to Ziplist! Thought I might ask for some clarifications in the directions, though. Numbers 3 and 8 specifically. I think I can figure it out, but you might want to check the wording. I really enjoy your blog and desserts!
Lizzy Mae says
Thanks! I must have been really anxious to type up the recipe, sorry! All fixed now 🙂
Allison says
Have you tried these without the caramel? I have tried to make a caramel like this in the past and it always turned out horribly so I am tempted to try just the rice treat with the chocolate and salt on the top. Thoughts?
Lizzy Mae says
Yes, you can just make the rice crispies like normal with a little vanilla extract and pour the chocolate on top and salt it and it would be wonderful!
Molly says
I just tried to make this and failed miserably. After wisking together the sugar mixture and the butter, the entire things hardened up before I could even get the cream in. Now I am left with a giant ball of caramel and a layer stuck to the bottom of my pan 🙁
Michelle says
I love your recipe! Very easy to make, thank you!
Jocelyn says
How did you shape them so evenly! What kind of pan did you use?
Lizzy Mae Early says
I used something close to a 9 by 10 pan and use a very sharp knife to cut 🙂
Cate says
I made these for my husband yesterday, and they are amazing! The caramel is little salty, but it is so tasty when you combine it with the chocolate!
