  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 treats

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces butter
  • 4 ounces dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cups Rice Krispie cereal

Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt together the butter, dark brown sugar, and honey over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often, and cook for 5 minutes while keeping a close eye on it.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispie cereal until fully combined and coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, or scoop into mini muffin cups for individual treats.
  5. Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Press mixture gently with a spatula or greased hands to avoid compacting too much and making treats hard.
  • Try adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel mixture for a salted caramel variation.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
