SALTED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Prepare a 9x13-inch pan by lining with a parchment paper sling or generously butter the bottom and sides.
• Melt the butter (save the wrappers for pressing the rice krispie treats into the pan) in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once it melts, keep watching it and it will bubble, then foam, then eventually turn a dark golden brown color and smell nutty. Watch carefully though, because it can go from golden brown to burned very quickly. Little bits of brown sediment in the bottom of the pan are fine though.
• As soon as the butter is browned, turn off the heat and add all but 3 cups of the marshmallows. Stir the butter and marshmallows together with a long-handled wooden spoon until the marshmallows are melted. There should be enough residual heat from browning the butter to melt the marshmallows completely, but if not, return the pot to low heat to fully melt the marshmallows.
• Add the Rice Krispies, 3 cups of reserved marshmallows, and coarse salt and stir until combined. Gently press into a prepared 9x13-inch pan using the reserved butter wrappers.
• Let the rice krispies cool for an hour before slicing.

• 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!

• Let cool, cut into squares and enjoy!

• In a large pot over medium-low heat melt the butter. After it has melted, turn the heat down to low. Now we brown the butter, it will take about 8 minutes for the butter to brown. Stir frequently throughout this process. The butter will turn foamy and golden colored specks will appear on the bottom of the pan. Stir frequently to prevent the butter from burning. The butter will have a beautiful nutty aroma.
• Once the butter has taken on a nutty color, stir in 8 cups of mini marshmallows.
• Once the marshmallows have just melted stir in the kosher salt and vanilla extract.
• Remove the pot from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal. Mix until the mixture is completely covered in the marshmallow mixture.
• Stir in the remaining 2 cups of mini mallows.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared 8x8 inch pan. Gently press the mixture into the pan (but don't press too hard you don't want the treats too compact. Sprinkle some sea salt over the rice krispie treats.
• Let set for 30-60 minutes then remove the foil and lift the rice krispie treats from the pan. slice into squares. Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days.

SALTED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS (RICE CRISPY)

Steps:

• Butter, or coat with non-stick spray, an 8-inch square cake pan with 2-inch sides.
• 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. Stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom as you do. Don't take your eyes off the pot as while you may be impatient for it to start browning, the period between the time the butter begins to take on color and the point where it burns is often less than a minute.
• As soon as the butter takes on a nutty color, turn the heat off and stir in the marshmallows. The residual heat from the melted butter should be enough to melt them, but if it is not, turn it back on low until the marshmallows are smooth.
• Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the salt and cereal together. Quickly spread into prepared pan. Use a piece of waxed or parchment paper sprayed with oil to press it firmly and evenly into the edges and corners.
• Let cool then cut into squares.
