Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 20 oz mini marshmallows 2 typical bags, reserve 2 cups
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 9x13” baking pan with parchment paper. If adding any toppings, layer them in the bottom of your pan now.
- Brown butter in a saucepan over medium low heat, stirring occasionally. Once butter starts to bubble (about 5 minutes), turn off the heat and allow it to cook with the residual heat for a couple more minutes. You want it to kind of caramelize, but not burn.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows (minus 2 cups that you’ve set aside), the condensed milk, and vanilla extract.
- Once the marshmallows start to melt, remove from the stovetop and fold in the rice krispies. Add the salt and stir in the extra mini marshmallows. They will soften a little but shouldn’t melt all the way.
- Press the mixture into a 9x13 baking dish.
- When completely set, you can cut and serve.
