Salted Spiced Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats Recipes

THE BEST BROWN BUTTER SALTED RICE KRISPIES® TREATS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Add marshmallows to browned butter, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until marshmallows are melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Stir bourbon and 1 teaspoon sea salt into marshmallow mixture and remove saucepan from heat. Add rice cereal to marshmallow mixture and mix until cereal is evenly coated with marshmallow mixture; transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place a sheet of parchment paper over rice cereal mixture and press into dish. Remove parchment paper and sprinkle flaked sea salt over the top. Cool treats to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.

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.

SALTED & SPICED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over low heat. Keep a close eye on the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a light caramel color and begins to smell nutty. Do not let the butter burn. Add the marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows melt & the mixture is smooth.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt & pinch of cayenne pepper, followed by the Rice Krispies. If your pot isn't very big, I find that adding the cereal in two batches helps you not make as much of a mess on the floor!
• Quickly turn the mixture into prepared pan and press into edges and corners using a piece of waxed paper.
• Let cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
