Ingredient Notes
Rice Krispies Cereal – Any brand of puffed rice cereal will do here! Just be aware if you are serving a gluten free crowd: some brands of puffed rice cereal contain malt syrup or flavoring, which is not gluten free, so be sure to check the ingredients list. Kellogg’s Rice Krispies contain malt flavoring and are not gluten free. Ironically, Malt-O-Meal does not use malt syrup, despite what the name suggests! Store brands are often malt syrup free as well.
How to Make Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats
Stir until the marshmallows are dissolved, then quickly pour over the Rice Krispies and stir quickly to coat completely. Transfer into your pan but don’t smash them down too crazy. Just gently press and then sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely (I allow mine to cool in the freezer so I am then allowed to eat them more quickly) and then cut into squares. Note: These are categorized, among other things, under gluten free. As always, if you need this to be gluten free, make sure the cereal you’re buying says it is gluten free on the packaging–not all puffed rice cereal is considered gluten free.
Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! If was making a lot of these for an event, I would prepare them a day ahead of time and keep either covered tightly in plastic wrap or individually wrapped until time to serve. At home, when they have miraculously not gotten gobbled up right after making them, I’ve had them stay delicious for several days!
