Instructions
You can put the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl and set it aside. While the butter is on medium heat in a large saucepan, it should melt.
Put the mini marshmallows in the saucepan and stir them all the time until they melt and become smooth.
Once all the marshmallows are melted, take the pan off the heat and quickly add the crispy rice cereal. Mix it in until it’s well coated.
Add the mini pretzel pieces slowly and carefully until they are spread out evenly in the mixture.
Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to spread the mixture out evenly in a 9×13-inch baking dish that has been greased.
Leave it alone to cool while you make the chocolate caramel topping. For 30 seconds at a time, stir the milk chocolate chips in a bowl that can go in the microwave until they are smooth and melted.
To melt the caramel bits or candies, put them in another bowl that can go in the microwave. Do this in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and melted.
Spread the melted chocolate and caramel evenly over the cooled Rice Krispie treats with a spoon or spatula.
You can add sea salt flakes on top if you want to change the flavors from sweet to salty. Allow the treats to set for about an hour at room temperature. If you want them to set faster, put them in the fridge.
After it has set, use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy every bite of this delicious mix of chocolate, caramel, and pretzels!
Tips for RecipeÂ
Use flavored crispy rice cereal, like chocolate or caramel-flavored kinds, to add more flavor and crunch.
When you’re mixing the marshmallows and cereal, move quickly because it can be hard to spread once it cools down.
Use cooking spray or butter to lightly grease your hands before pressing the mixture into the baking dish so that it doesn’t stick to them.
If you want a smoother chocolate drizzle, put the melted chocolate in a zip-top bag or piping bag and cut off a small corner. Then, drizzle the chocolate over the treats.
You can make your treats unique by adding chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or sprinkles to the mix to change the taste and texture.
Notes
Any extra treats can be kept at room temperature for up to three days in an airtight container or in the fridge for up to a week. Use parchment paper between the layers to keep them from sticking.
You can also make these rice krispie treats at home and give them as thoughtful gifts for special events. For a thoughtful and tasty gift, put them in pretty bags or boxes and tie them with ribbon.
Add different toppings and drizzles to make these treats even tastier. Crushed cookies, peanut butter, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon will do the trick.
