Caramel Rice Krispie Treats
These no-bake Caramel Rice Krispie Treats combine the nostalgic crunch of Rice Krispies with the rich flavors of caramel and butterscotch, finished with a drizzle of Nucolato. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or a cozy evening snack.
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter ½ cup
- 1 package marshmallows 10 oz
- 1 box Rice Krispies cereal about 6 cups
- ½ cup caramel chips
- 1 teaspoon butterscotch extract
- Nucolato hazelnut spread for drizzling
Instructions
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely. Add the marshmallows, stirring continuously until they are fully melted and combined with the butter.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
- Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated. Mix in the butterscotch extract and caramel extract (if using), then the caramel chips, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the mixture.
Shape and Set the Treats
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch pan. Press it evenly into the pan using a spatula or wax paper. Allow it to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
Drizzle with Nucolato
- Once set, drizzle Nucolato hazelnut spread generously over the top of the treats. For a more polished look, use a piping bag or a small spoon.
Serve and Enjoy
- Cut the treats into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
