Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats
A delightful twist on the classic crispy rice treats, enhanced with rich brown butter and a sprinkle of sea salt for an extraordinary flavor experience.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Works best for browning.
- 6 cups Mini Marshmallows Helps in achieving an even melt and texture.
- 6 cups Crispy Rice Cereal The base of the treat.
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances the sweet flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional, but adds extra flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally. Watch for it to turn a deep golden brown and develop a nutty aroma, then remove from heat.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows until fully melted and combined with the brown butter.
- Add a splash of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well to blend.
- Gradually fold in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture into it. Press down evenly with hands or a spatula.
- Let the treats cool at room temperature for about an hour. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
To avoid hard treats, do not overpack the mixture into the pan. Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness. Treat variations include adding chocolate chips, nuts, or making s'mores inspired treats.
