Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for pan
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
Pinch of flaky sea salt, such as Jacobsen or Maldon, plus more for sprinkling
4 cups puffed-rice cereal
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (2/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with butter; line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pot over medium heat. Add marshmallows and salt; cook, stirring, until melted. Remove from heat; stir in cereal. Press mixture into prepared pan in an even layer. Let cool 15 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 3 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over medium heat, swirling pan a few times, until sugar has dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Uncover and cook, undisturbed, until mixture turns amber, about 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Carefully add cream and 2 tablespoons butter (it will bubble up); stir until smooth. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Whisk in peanut butter. Spread mixture evenly over crust and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate and remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a small heat-proof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Spread evenly over caramel layer. Let stand 5 minutes, then sprinkle with salt and refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Lift from pan using overhangs. Using a serrated knife, cut into squares. Refrigerate in an airtight container between pieces of parchment up to 3 days.

These chocolate Rice Krispies treats are crowd pleasers! The secret to making them soft and chewy is bringing the sugar mixture just to a boil and then cooking for only one minute.

  • To make the chocolate coating, you will need semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. You can also use dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, if desired.
  • To make the caramel sauce, you will need sugar, butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. You can also add salt or other spices, to taste.
  • When making the crispy rice bars, be sure to use a large bowl so that you have enough room to mix the ingredients. You should also use a heavy saucepan when making the chocolate coating and caramel sauce, so that the mixture does not burn.
  • Be careful when dipping the crispy rice bars in the chocolate coating or caramel sauce. The mixture can be very hot, so it is important to use a spoon or fork to dip the bars.
  • Let the crispy rice bars cool completely before serving. This will help the chocolate coating and caramel sauce to set.
