Salted Caramel Crispy Treats

Heard about this recipe from my friend Brendalyn- the recipe I used is Jamie Dean's and it was easy and delish.  A grown-up version of a favorite treat.

 

 

 

 

Salted Caramel Crispy Treats

6 cups crispy rice cereal
1 stick butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, plus more for sprinkling (I used just regular sea salt in a grinder)

1 10z. bad mini marshmallows

Spray and 8-inch square cake pan with nonstick spray

Add the cereal to a large heatproof bowl and set aside.

Add the butter to a medium saucepan over medium high heat.  Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, heavy whipping cream and corn syrup.  Cook until thick and syrupy while stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.  Stir in the salt.  Turn off the heat and stir in the marshmallows.  Keep stirring until the marshmallows are smooth and melted.

Quickly pour the caramel marshmallow sauce over the cereal and stir all together.  Pour into the prepared pan and press down with a piece of parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray.  Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt.

Cool completely, then cut into squares.
