Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
I don’t know about you but a quintessential snack in our house in Rice Krispie Treats. Whether it’s for school/after school or even camping, heck i have even made these for birthday parties, it’s an easy make ahead treat that satisfies young and old.
For the longest time I actually never tried making Rice Krispie Treats, I am sure you have all tried a batch that were over cooked and harder than a rock. I was fine just buying the Dream Bars from Starbucks when I had a craving. But then I seen the Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats recipe in the book Cereal Sweets & Treats from Jessica Segarra, I knew I had to try them. (I would highly recommend this book ps. there is a lot of great recipes I’d like to try.)
There is just something about brown butter that is so delicious. I love the salty nuttiness, plus mix that with the sweetness from the marshmallows, I was sold. I am all about salty and sweet snacks. So I had to give this a try, plus it’s so easy!
Ingredients you will need:
- Unsalted butter
- Mini marshmallows
- Salt
- Rice Krispies
- 9×13 pan
- Parchment paper
Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (16-ounce)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 cups Rice Krispies
Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch pan and set aside.
- In a large nonstick stock pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns a deep golden color and you see a few dark flecks. Add the marshmallows and salt, and stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies until well coated.
- Optional- Stir in a handful of marshmallows, once Rice Krispies have been added for just a little bit more gooeyness.
- Transfer mixture to prepared pan and place parchment paper on top and push down until even. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Can be stored in an airtight container.
