Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Rice Krispie Treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons Butter (salted or unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 (10-ounce) package Mini Marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal (170g)
- pinch Sea Salt (Optional)
Instructions
- Coat a baker’s quarter sheet pan and silicone spatula with cooking spray and set aside.
- Melt the BUTTER in a heavy 5-quart pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally as it melts and begins to bubble and pop.
- Continue cooking the BUTTER until it turns a golden-brown color and gives off a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Stir the butter or swirl the pan to keep the butter moving to prevent burning.
- Once the BUTTER is browned, add the VANILLA EXTRACT and MINI MARSHMALLOWS. Stir until the MARSHMALLOWS are almost fully melted and combined with the browned butter.
- Turn off the heat and add the RICE KRISPIES CEREAL. Stir with the coated spatula until the cereal is evenly mixed with the marshmallow mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking sheet and press it down evenly into the pan. (Optional) Sprinkle a few pinches of flaky SEA SALT over the Rice Krispie treats before they cool and set up.
- Let the treats cool completely before cutting and serving.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use salted butter.
- These treats can be customized with mix-ins or toppings.
