How To Make Chocolate Toffee Rice Krispie Treats
As you can probably see, these are SO easy to make. There are few extra tips that I use to make them perfect every time.
Start by melting the butter in a medium sized saucepan on medium until the butter starts to bubble. The butter will be hot and be completely melted.
Next, add the entire bag of mini marshmallows to the butter. Mini marshmallows are the best because they melt quicker. You can use larger marshmallows, it will just take longer.
Whisk the marshmallows continuously until it just melted. As soon as it's melted, take it off the heat.
Add the vanilla and flaky sea salt and stir. If you don't have flaky sea salt, you can use regular salt. It will bubble a little bit. Next fold in the Rice Krispie cereal. Use a rubber spatula to make sure all the butter is mixed in.
Preparing The Gooey Rice Krispie Treats
After you fold in the cereal, it needs to sit for 2 minutes. It is going to be very hot and letting it cool will keep the chocolate from melting so fast.
Next, pour in HALF of the toffee pieces and HALF of the mini chocolate chips. Then, fold it in with a rubber spatula exactly 3 times. It sounds silly, but any more than that will make the chocolate melt. Then your treats will get all muddy.
Immediately after you fold in the chocolate, pour it directly in an 8X8 pan. Then, sprinkle the rest of the toffee and chocolate chips on top and use your fingers to compact it down.
Let it sit at room temperate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Then dig in!
How To Store Chocolate Toffee Rice Krispie Treats
To store them, keep them in the pan with a cover at room temperature. They will last for 5 days.
Don't store these in the fridge. If you do, they will harden.
They are the best after sitting for 1 hour. I know, they won't last long!
Can These Be Gluten Free?
Yes they can! You can use gluten free rice cereal or chex cereal. It will taste just as good!
