Description
Caramel Turtle Rice Krispie Treats are a delicious and sweet dessert combining the flavors of caramel, chocolate, and pecans with the classic Rice Krispies treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring until well coated.
- Press half of the Rice Krispies mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish to form the base layer.
- Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the base layer and sprinkle half of the chopped pecans on top.
- Spread the remaining Rice Krispies mixture over the caramel and pecans, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top layer and sprinkle the remaining pecans and chocolate chips evenly over the caramel.
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- You can substitute the pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty taste.
