Notes
- Butter: If you like more salty/sweet brown butter flavor, use salted butter in place of the unsalted butter.
- Marshmallows: You could use large marshmallows to melt, but I recommend using mini marshmallows to stir in.
- Vanilla extract: Feel free to adjust the vanilla extract to your tastes. You could also use vanilla bean paste.
- Cereal: You could use a different flavor of Rice Krispies, like Cocoa Krispies, to change up the flavor.
- Sea salt: It's important to use sea salt or finishing salt. Table salt is saltier and may make your treats too salty.
