Truth: I’ve eaten a lot of not-so-great Rice Krispie Treats in my life! At some point, I was determined to come up with a recipe that I loved … chewy, gooey, & flavorful!!
My Rice Krispie Treats are out-of-this-world because I use browned butter, a lower ratio of crispy rice cereal, and a French coarse grey sea salt.
One of my favorite places to eat these … backstage between symphony concerts!! Shhhh!! They pack well in my sack dinner, help me avoid the store-bought cookies offered to me {cause if I’m going to eat a treat, it better taste really good!}, & they make me happy!
Out-Of-This-World Rice Krispie Treats
Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
- 2 -10 oz. bags of {fresh!} mini marshmallows
- 8-8-1/2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 heaping teaspoon coarse grey sea salt (like Le Guerandais)
Directions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch pan by spraying it with coconut oil. {Avocado oil or butter should work great too!}
- In a large pot, melt two sticks of butter. Once the butter is melted, allow it to continue to cook on a low or medium-low temperature in order to brown the butter. Browned butter will turn a light-brown or caramel color, it will smell nutty, and have a thin layer of foam on top of the butter. Watch the browned butter closely because it can go from browned to burnt quickly.
- Remove your pot from the heat. To the melted, browned butter, add all the marshmallows & stir until all the marshmallows are melted.
- Mix in the salt & crispy rice cereal. Continue to stir the mixture until all the cereal is coated with marshmallow.
- Pour the marshmallow-cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about an hour to cool. Cut into bars & enjoy! Store leftovers in an air-tight container or wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap.
