- [Natalie] The salty caramel rice crispy treat
was our first original recipe.
We love it because it's caramelly, it's gooey,
it's light and it's delicious.
I'm Natalie Potter.
- [Laura] And I'm Laura Potter.
- [Natalie] And we're the mother, daughter duo
behind the online rice crispy treat company Bliss and Baker.
To start, you're going to prepare a pan with parchment paper
and we also sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar
on the bottom to prevent it from sticking.
When you're making rice crispy treats,
you're gonna wanna use a nonstick pot.
You'll thank us later for this when you're cleaning up.
The nonstick is a total time saver.
We prefer to use salted butter
because it adds another depth of flavor.
I love rice crispy treats
because I believe they're the best dessert
on the entire planet.
- [Laura] I think they're really nostalgic.
It just seems like everybody enjoys them.
- [Natalie] We're gonna let all this cook for a few minutes
and you can tell it's done
when it can coat the back of your spoon.
Should take about five minutes.
- [Laura] Reduce the heat to low
and add the mini marshmallows.
We prefer to use mini marshmallows over the larger ones
because they melt super fast and evenly.
- [Natalie] Now we're gonna stir the marshmallows together
until they have completely melted.
- [Laura] Now that the pot is off the heat,
it's time to add the rice cereal.
It's really important that you fold in the cereal
to keep it from getting crushed.
Otherwise, it can lead to a dense treat
and what we're really looking for is something light
and airy and chewy.
I wish you guys could smell this.
It smells so, so good.
- [Natalie] When you're smoothing out the edges
of the mixture, be careful not to press down too much
so you can keep it really light
then you'll sprinkle flaky sea salt on the top.
- [Laura] Now the waiting game.
I know you really wanna eat these
but they're gonna take about an hour at room temperature
or if you're really excited, you could pop 'em in the fridge
for about 30 minutes.
- [Natalie] I love getting to work with my mom.
I'm just so grateful to have this special relationship
and have all these new experiences
and reach our goals together.
- [Laura] We really hope that people try this recipe
and use these tips to take their crispy game
to the next level.
- [Natalie] We fully believe that handmade treats
have this magical power to show people you love them
and make them happy.

- [Speaker] Oh yes.
