SALTED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Line an 8"x8" inch square brownie pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• 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

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.

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.
