Ingredients
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
10 oz marshmallows
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt
6 cups crispy rice cereal
Instructions
Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over low heat until golden brown and nutty.
Add the marshmallows to the browned butter and stir continuously until smooth and melted.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, half of the salted caramel, and the flaky sea salt.
Gently fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan.
Drizzle the remaining salted caramel over the top and sprinkle with a little extra flaky sea salt.
Allow to set at room temperature for about 40 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the butter from burning too quickly while browning. If you prefer a firmer bar, let them set in the refrigerator for 20 minutes instead of at room temperature.
