🛒 Ingredients

• 4 cups Rice Krispies or puffed rice cereal

• 1 cup caramel candies (soft) or homemade caramel

• 2–3 tbsp milk (if using hard caramel to melt)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the base:

4. Add chocolate topping:

   • Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.

   • Pour over the cereal layer and spread evenly.

5. Add finishing touch:

   • Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the chocolate while it’s still warm.

6. Set and slice:

   • Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until firm.

   • Cut into squares or bars and serve.
