Rich and buttery Caramel Rice Krispie Treats made with homemade caramel instead of marshmallows are a great alternative to the traditional cereal treat recipe. These treats are crispy and chewy and loaded with caramel flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have been using this recipe to make homemade caramel rice crispy treats for almost 40 years. Everyone loves them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe was actually printed on a package of holiday Crispy Molds that I purchased back in the 90s. I used those molds to create thousands of teddy bears, bunnies, pumpkins, and snowmen to sell in my candy store. My customers loved them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly those Crispy Moulds are no longer available but I found a way to use plastic beach toys as molds to create Caramel Rice Krispie Treat Starfish<\/a> and Turtles to share on my Hungry Happenings blog. I even made a Caramel Cereal Treat Sand Castle<\/a> using this recipe too. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Buttery<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The rice krispie treat recipe uses sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup instead of marshmallows. It may seem a little daunting at first because it is a little more challenging than simply melting butter and marshmallows together in a pan and stirring in some cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don't fret! I promise you this marshmallow-free Rice Krispie Treat recipe is so amazing that you will make it over and over again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you follow my instructions carefully this recipe is actually quite simple. You don't even need to use a candy thermometer if you do not have one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
