!For the Salted Caramel Sauce:
- Measure out all your ingredients and set them aside so they are ready when you need them.
- Add your white sugar to a medium sized sauce pan and heat over medium heat on the stove top.

- Remove from heat and pour in the sea salt and vanilla.
- Pour into a glass jar and allow co cool until needed.

- Melt the butter over medium low heat in a large sauce pan.
- Add in the marshmallows and stir together till the marshmallows are almost completely melted.
- Stir in the salted caramel sauce.
- Pour in the cereal and mix together till cereal is completely coated.
- Pour into a 7x11in pan (or a 9x9) and press down evenly.
- Allow to set before slicing.
Notes
You can also use a 9x13 pan, the treats will just be a little thinner.
