Fans Are Drooling Over Long Overdue Rice Krispies Treats Flavor: ‘I’ll Take 40’

From the moment I was aware that I had taste buds, I’ve always loved anything salted caramel flavored. Werther’s Originals, caramel popcorn, a flip flop with caramel on it—you name it, I’m into it. There’s something about that rich, buttery taste that perfectly balances sweet sugar and vanilla, with a toasted nuttiness and final flourish of salt that blows me away every time. It enhances the flavor of anything it’s added to and it's a perfect base to weave in additional flavors like bourbon or even chili to excite and entice the palate further. What more could you want in a sauce?

Sure, au poivre and chimichurri are great, but can you put either of those on ice cream? Okay, you could, but why would you want to? Regardless, salted caramel is top tier when it comes to elevating desserts and sweet dishes or even as a treat on its own. The only way to make the luscious, velvety sauce even better would be to fold into a dessert that’s equally as delicious—one that almost seems like a match made in heaven. Fortunately, we don’t have to hunt for said dessert any longer, thanks to news from @cereallife. Finally, salted caramel has met its match.
