Brown Butter Rice Crispy Treats
Deliciously gooey and chewy rice crispy treats made even better with the nutty flavor of brown butter.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 1 package marshmallows about 10 oz
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn it.
- Add the marshmallows to the saucepan with the browned butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the crispy rice cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir gently until the cereal is evenly coated.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down gently with a spatula or buttered hands. Do not press too firmly, or the treats will be hard.
- Let the treats cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before the treats set. For softer treats, use slightly fewer cereal. For crisper treats, use slightly more.
