Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups rice krispies
- ½ cup diced apples
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup caramel sauce
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Gently melt ¼ cup butter in a large pot over low heat, stirring carefully to prevent burning.
- Pour 1 cup mini marshmallows into the melted butter, stirring constantly until they transform into a smooth, glossy mixture.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and fold in ½ cup diced apples, ensuring even distribution throughout the marshmallow base.
- Remove the pot from heat and immediately add 3 cups rice krispies, stirring quickly to coat every cereal piece with the warm mixture.
- Transfer the sticky blend into a pre-greased 8×8 inch pan, using a spatula to press and spread the mixture evenly across the surface.
- Grab your caramel sauce and drizzle ¼ cup in a zigzag pattern across the top of the treats, creating an appetizing design.
- Allow the treats to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes, letting them set and firm up before slicing into 2-inch squares.
Notes
- Let the apple pieces cool slightly before adding to the marshmallow mixture to prevent excess moisture from making the treats soggy.
- Finely dice the apples for better distribution and a more consistent texture throughout the treats.
- Use a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to press the mixture into the pan evenly without sticking to your hands.
- For a more intense apple flavor, sprinkle some dried apple chips or apple pie spice on top of the caramel drizzle.
