Caramel Apple Rice Krispie Treats
Easy caramel apple Rice Krispie treats made with real apple flavor and a light caramel finish. Soft, gooey, and ready fast for parties or tailgates.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon caramel extract
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup freeze-dried apples crushed
- ¼ cup caramel sauce warmed, for drizzling
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with a parchment sling and lightly mist the parchment.
- In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. Add 10 ounces mini marshmallows and stir gently until just melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the caramel extract. Add the Rice Krispies cereal and the crushed freeze-dried apples. Use a lightly greased silicone spatula to fold until everything is coated.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Lightly press into an even layer. Don’t pack it down or the bars will be firm.
- Warm the caramel sauce until pourable and drizzle over the top. Let set for 20 minutes, then lift out with the parchment and cut into 8 large or 16 smaller squares.
Notes
- Make sure to use freeze-dried apples, not fresh, to avoid soggy bars.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. If stacking, add parchment between layers so they don’t stick.
