Crunchy, salty, sweet, Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats are our new snackety snack around here. Â We have fallen hard for these yummy treats and we know you will too!
Don’t share these with the kiddos, hide them away and eat them secretly in the pantry, garage or wherever you do your secret eating.  Rice Krispie treats are one of the finer things in life. I just forgot for awhile….
Caramel sauce is added right to the melted marshmallow mixture and the Rice Krispies are topped with a quick cooking chocolate ganache. Â Don’t let that uppidy ‘ganache’ word scare ya. Â It’s just warmed up cream and chocolate chips.
We took them on a picnic with our champagne and red solo cups. Â We are so fancy ya know. Â Bring some Oreo’s for the kids…the grown ups will want these all to themselves!
Once you make these beauties you will be asked to bring them over and over again….probably better not to share. Â Your little secret….
You can see all of our desserts HERE.Â
A couple of our favorites are these Easy Pineapple Bars (with video) and these Easy Blueberry bars. Â Both made with the same basic recipe, just different filling!

I just made your rice krispie treats. I haven’t tried them yet but they look delicious. I do have a question though, you list 1 tsp vanilla but the directions don’t tell you where to add it. Can you let me know?
