Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- ½ cup dulce de leche
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Optional Topping
- Flaky salt for topping
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Melt the Marshmallows: Add mini marshmallows to the browned butter and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the Dulce de Leche: Stir in the dulce de leche and sea salt, mixing thoroughly to ensure a fully combined and creamy consistency.
- Coat the Rice Krispies: Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal and gently fold the mixture to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow and dulce de leche blend.
- Press and Set: Transfer the coated cereal mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Use a spatula to press it down evenly, ensuring the mixture is compacted well for setting.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Krispies to cool completely so they can set properly. Once cooled, cut into squares and sprinkle with flaky salt if desired before serving.
Notes
- Be careful while browning the butter, as it can burn quickly; use medium heat and stir often.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold together better once cooled.
- Flaky salt topping is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweetness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil and check dulce de leche for dairy ingredients.
