Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats with Mocha Ganache
Rice Krispie treats are all grown up with the addition of salted caramel and a rich mocha ganache. Make this special treat for Super Bowl or your next gathering and watch the Rice Krispie treats disappear!
These sweet and salty rice krispie treats are a fun and easy no-bake treat to make. They might be the perfect pick-up treat for the Super Bowl in a few weeks. The salted caramel krispie treat base is slightly gooey so they are best stored in the refrigerator. The mocha ganache is rich and really makes them something special. I liked them with and without the ganache topping, though.
