Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 0.5 cup salted caramel chips
- 0.5 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Add the crispy rice cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently fold until the cereal is fully coated.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, salted caramel chips, and peanut butter chips. Be careful not to overmix to prevent melting the chips completely.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly using a spatula lightly greased with butter or cooking spray.
If desired, top the mixture with sprinkles for extra color and crunch.
Let the Loaded Krispie Crunches cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm enough to cut.
Cut into 12 squares or desired sizes and serve immediately. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
