SALTED CARAMEL-STUFFED CRISPY RICE TREATS RECIPE BY TASTY



Salted Caramel-Stuffed Crispy Rice Treats Recipe by Tasty image

Gooey, buttery crispy rice treats and salted caramel are #couplegoals. Quick tip: if the crispy rice mixture solidifies too much to spread, place the pot in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes to soften.

Yield 20 treats

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces, room temperature
¼ cup heavy cream
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 stick unsalted butter
16 oz mini marshmallows
1 tablespoon McCormick® vanilla extract
8 cups puffed rice cereal
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
candy thermometer

Steps:

  • Make the salted caramel sauce: In a small saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer, stir together the sugar, water, and salt until no clumps remain, brushing any sugar granules from the sides of the pot. Turn the heat to medium and cook the sugar mixture without stirring until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C) and the color turns light amber brown, 10-15 minutes.
  • Gently whisk in 1 piece of butter at a time until melted and incorporated.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent the caramel from overflowing. Use caution as the mixture bubbles. Let the sauce cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Make the crispy rice treats: Grease a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes.
  • With a rubber spatula, stir in the marshmallows until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla. Turn off the heat, add the puffed rice cereal, and stir until well coated.
  • Spread half of the crispy rice mixture evenly in the prepared pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Spread the salted caramel sauce evenly over the first layer of crispy rice treats and sprinkle with the flaky sea salt. Return the pan to the freezer for 10 minutes.
  • Spread the rest of the crispy rice mixture evenly over the caramel sauce. (If the crispy rice mixture solidifies too much to spread, place the pot in the oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes to soften). Let the treats cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Once cooled, invert the treats onto a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh marshmallows. Old or stale marshmallows will not melt properly and will result in a grainy texture.
  • Do not overcook the marshmallows. Overcooked marshmallows will become tough and chewy.
  • Be careful when melting the marshmallows. Hot marshmallows can easily burn skin.
  • Add the butter to the melted marshmallows immediately after removing them from the heat. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from hardening.
  • Work quickly when mixing the rice cereal with the marshmallow mixture. The mixture will start to set quickly, so it is important to get it into the pan before it hardens.
  • Press the rice cereal mixture firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Let the rice cereal treats cool completely before cutting them into bars. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the rice cereal treats. Some popular options include chocolate chips, peanut butter, and sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Salted caramel stuffed crispy rice treats are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover rice cereal and marshmallows, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of these treats that everyone will love.
