Browned Butter Krispy Treats
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 13 ounces of marshmallows for melting
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 7 cups of Rice Krispy treats approximately 200 grams
- 3 ounces of marshmallows to stir in at the end
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
Pepare the Pan:
- Line a baking pan (8×8 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy removal of the treats later.
Browning the Butter:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Continue cooking the butter until it turns golden amber in color and develops brown specs at the bottom. This will create a nutty and caramel flavor.
Melt Marshmallows:
- Add the 13 ounces of marshmallows to the browned butter and stir until completely melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
Quality Control Taste Test:
- Before combining with the cereal, do a taste test of the marshmallow mixture to ensure it has a rich caramel flavor.
Combine with Cereal:
- In a large bowl, mix the Rice Krispy treats with the melted marshmallow mixture until evenly coated.
- Add the remaining 3 ounces of marshmallows and stir until they are evenly distributed.
Transfer to the Pan:
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Quality Check:
- Perform a final taste test to ensure the treats have the desired browned butter and caramel flavor.
Press Evenly:
- To avoid crushing the treats, press them evenly into the pan using a buttered wrapper or spatula. Do not press too hard.
Cool Before Cutting:
- Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or desired shapes.
Enjoy:
- Once cooled and cut, your Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats are ready to be enjoyed! The rich, nutty undertones of browned butter add a depth of flavor to this classic treat. Perfect for indulging in a moment of sweet bliss!
