½ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ (11 ounce) package caramel candies
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) package mini marshmallows
¼ teaspoon salt
6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies®)

Steps:

  • Melt butter over medium heat in a large, deep saucepan. Add cocoa powder and whisk until well combined.
