How to Make Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats
- Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with 2-inch sides using butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
- The butter will melt, foam, then turn clear, golden, and finally brown, releasing a nutty aroma. Stir frequently, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.
- **Caution:** Watch carefully! The transition from golden to browned butter happens quickly. As soon as the butter is a light nutty brown, remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in 10 ounces (about 2 cups) of mini marshmallows.
- The residual heat from the butter should melt the marshmallows. If not, return the pan to the stove over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt and 5 cups (about 6 ounces) Rice Krispies cereal.
- Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Lightly grease a piece of parchment paper or waxed paper with cooking spray. Use it to firmly and evenly press the mixture into the pan, ensuring it reaches the corners.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
