Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats

Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats Recipe: Classic Rice Krispies Treats are made even better in this recipe by adding a chocolate salted caramel topping!

I’m a big fan of taking things that are already good (like Rice Krispie Treats) and making them even better, and that is exactly how this Salted Caramel Rice Krispies Treats recipe was conceived. 

Many moons ago when I was in high school, I volunteered as a library assistant. It meant that I got to roam the hallways delivering messages to classrooms and occasionally a special treat for helping out. 🙂 Our assistant librarian would sometimes bring in her delicious homemade creations for us to “taste test” and well, I certainly wasn’t going to complain! One of my favorites was a chocolate and caramel covered Rice Krispies Treat very similar to this one. I never did get her recipe, so I decided to get nostalgic and recreate it myself!
