How to Make Salted Caramel Treats
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.
- Continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
- Remove from heat and carefully whisk in 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon sea salt until smooth and combined.
- Line a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides.
- In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
- Add 10 ounces (about 4 cups) mini marshmallows and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and 1 cup of the prepared salted caramel sauce until well combined.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Quickly transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.
- Pour the remaining caramel sauce over the top and sprinkle with an additional 1/2 teaspoon sea salt.
- Let cool completely at room temperature (at least 2 hours).
- Lift the treats out of the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 24 squares.
