Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup dulce de leche
  • 6 cups mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter: Melt unsalted butter over medium heat in a large saucepan, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
  2. Add the Dulce de Leche and Marshmallows: Reduce heat to low. Stir in dulce de leche until completely combined and smooth. Then add mini marshmallows and gently stir until fully melted, creating a sticky caramel-marshmallow mixture.
  3. Mix in the Vanilla and Salt: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt to balance and enhance the flavors.
  4. Combine with Rice Krispies: Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with the mixture for the ideal chewy yet crispy texture.
  5. Press and Cool: Transfer the mixture to a buttered or parchment-lined pan. Press evenly but gently using a spatula or wax paper to keep treats light. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Watch your butter closely while browning to prevent burning and bitterness.
  • Slightly warm the dulce de leche beforehand for smoother mixing and better consistency.
  • Press the mixture gently into the pan to keep treats light and airy.
  • Use fresh marshmallows for best melting and texture.
  • Store treats in an airtight container to maintain chewiness and freshness.
