Salted Caramel Rice Krispies

Notes: a little more work than the standard rice krispies, but these are the best we have ever had.

1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1 (10-oz) package marshmallows
6 cups rice krispies

Combine the sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepan. Do not stir. Cook over medium-high heat to a dark amber color, swirling as it begins to brown to distribute the sugar. Be careful not to burn. While the sugar and water are going at it, heat up the cream in a saucepan or microwave just until warm.

Take off the heat and add your room temperature butter and whisk in. Add the warmed cream and whisk vigorously. Add the salt and set aside.

In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add the caramel and stir until thoroughly combined.

Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares.
