Each bar has two layers: a light golden, crispy rice cereal base with a textured surface and a smooth, thick top layer of shiny dark chocolate sprinkled with flaky white salt. The bars are cut neatly, showing clean edges and the contrast between the rough cereal base and glossy chocolate topping. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup tahini, stirred
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
One 10-ounce bag mini marshmallows, plus 1 cup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
6 cups Rice Krispies
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Flaky sea salt, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Grease an 8-x 8-inch pan with cooking spray or softened butter to prepare for the treat mixture.
Step 2: Melt the 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat, swirling occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 3: Add the tahini to the melted butter and stir with a flexible spatula until smooth and combined.
Step 4: Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated with the butter and tahini mixture.
Step 5: Add the 10-ounce bag of mini marshmallows (reserve 1 cup for later) and stir until the marshmallows melt and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6: Remove the pot from heat, then stir in the vanilla and kosher salt.
Step 7: Add the Rice Krispies cereal and the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows, stirring gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 8: Transfer the mixture to the greased pan and press down lightly using a sheet of plastic wrap—avoid packing too tightly to keep the treats soft and gooey.
Step 9: To make the milk chocolate glaze, combine milk chocolate chips, light corn syrup, 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium microwave-safe bowl.
Step 10: Microwave the glaze mixture in 50-second bursts, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over medium heat on the stovetop, stirring occasionally.
Step 11: Pour the glaze over the Rice Krispie treats and spread evenly using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
Step 12: Chill the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour until the glaze is set.
Step 13: Serve the treats cold or at room temperature, sprinkling flaky sea salt on top if desired.

Tips & Variations

For an extra crunch, stir in 1/2 cup chopped toasted nuts to the Rice Krispie mixture before pressing into the pan.
If you prefer a darker chocolate flavor, try using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for the glaze.
To make these treats vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Press the mixture gently to keep the treats light and airy—over-packing can make them dense and hard.

Storage

Store the treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to enjoy, you can eat them chilled or let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid storing at room temperature for long periods to maintain the glaze’s texture and prevent melting.
