Brown Butter Crispy Treats Recipes

BROWNED BUTTER KRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Pour the Rice Krispies into a very large wok, reserving the box and bag. (If you don't have a wok, pull out the largest pot you've got.) Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as needed, until the cereal has turned slightly darker brown and tastes toasted. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Place the butter in the wok and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring and swirling the pan frequently, until the butter melts, foams, and turns light golden brown.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the marshmallows. Cook, now stirring with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt.
• Reduce the heat all the way to low and add the Rice Krispies back to the wok. Stir gently until all of the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture, then remove from the heat.
• Spray the inside of the now-empty cereal bag with non-stick oil spray, then carefully pack the Rice Krispie mixture into the bag. Let cool before eating straight from the box.

BROWN BUTTER KRISPIES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter and line parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Lightly grease the parchment.
• Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until the foam begins to subside, about 4 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until the butter solids brown in the bottom of the pan, another minute or two.
• Add the marshmallows, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring, until the marshmallows are evenly melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the puffed rice cereal until evenly coated.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently press down to smooth the top. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
• Cut into the desired shapes using a paring knife or cookie cutters.

CARAMELIZED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Steps:

• Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper, or butter it well.
• In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Watch closely and stir often.
• When butter is evenly browned, stir in marshmallows. (If using unsalted butter, stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt.) Melt and cook, stirring often, until mixture turns pale brown, then stir constantly until lightly browned but not dark, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn off heat, add cereal, and mix well, preferably with a silicone spoon or a spatula. Scrape into prepared pan and press down lightly. If necessary, butter hands to press mixture flat. Let cool, and cut into squares or bars.

Steps:

• Thoroughly grease a baking sheet with softened butter.
• Add the butter to a large pot set over medium heat. Allow it to melt and bubble up, swirling the pot to keep it moving around, until the butter is a medium golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the regular marshmallows until they're totally melted. Stir in the salt.
• Remove from the heat and pour in the cereal, folding gently the whole time until combined. Then pour in the mini marshmallows and gently fold in. Turn the mixture into the buttered baking sheet and press flat. Let cool completely, and then cut into squares or rectangles.
