How to Make Salted Caramel Holiday Treats
- **Make the Caramel:** In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Do not stir. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a light amber color (about 8-10 minutes).
- Carefully whisk in heavy cream (it will bubble up!). Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in butter and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt until fully incorporated.
- **Prepare Baking Dish:** Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
- **Melt Butter and Marshmallows:** In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 cup of the prepared caramel sauce until well combined.
- Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal.
- **Assemble Treats:** Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle generously with the remaining sea salt.
- **Cool and Cut:** Let cool completely at room temperature (at least 2 hours). Once cooled, lift the treats out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 24 squares.
