intro

once you try these brown butter rice krispies, there’s no going back 🤎

ingredients

  • 10oz mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups rice crisps cereal
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, browned
  • pinch of salt

let's make it

  1. 01

    brown the butter in a small skillet until deeply golden + nutty

  2. 02

    immediately pour the browned butter into a Dutch oven. add the marshmallows + salt and stir over medium heat until just melted

  3. 03

    turn off the heat, then fold in the rice crisps until evenly coated

  4. 04

    gently press the mixture into a pan and let set at room temperature before slicing into ~9 squares & enjoy

notes

  • keep a close eye on the butter once it starts foaming — it can go from perfectly browned to burnt pretty quickly.
  • don't pack the mixture into the pan too aggressively or the treats can end up dense instead of soft + chewy.
