Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot or Dutch Oven
  • 1 9x12 Baking Pan

Ingredients

  • 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 pkg Marshmallows Make sure they are fresh.
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp corn syrup light
  • 1-2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • caramel sauce optional
  • salt optional (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  • First, spray or grease a 9 X 12 pan and set it aside.
  • Next, in a large saucepan or dutch oven, melt your butter.
  • Then, stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream to make your thick and creamy caramel sauce. 
  • Let these ingredients bubble together on medium-low heat (medium heat if you are stirring it) until they are golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Then, add your marshmallows and stir until they are melted. 
  • Add your cereal and stir with a wooden spoon until it is well-coated in the caramel mixture. 
  • Next, scrape the mixture out of the pot and into your prepared baking dish. 
  • Finally, using a piece of parchment paper, press it down into the pan until it is spread out in an even layer. 
  • Allow to set at room temperature before cutting into squares.
  • You’re done! Unless you want to go the extra mile. In that case, drizzle your cut squares with your caramel sauce and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
