Ingredients
- 12 cups crispy rice cereal
- 20 oz mini marshmallows (two, 10oz bags, or about 12 cups)
- 1 1/2 ticks salted butter (12 Tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Pour cereal and 2 cups of marshmallows into an extra-large bowl.Grease a 13x18’ half sheet pan lightly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.Set aside.
- Melt (or brown) the butter: Add butter to a large saucepan and allow to melt (optional: brown the butter by cooking it over low heat, swirling it around a few times, until it’s golden and smells nutty fragrant (don’t let it burn!).
- Remove from heat and stir in remaining marshmallows, vanilla and salt. Stir constantly, and place back on low heat if needed, until melted and smooth.
- Gradually pour mixture over the cereal, tossing to coat evenly. Stir in other mix-ins* if desired.
- Press mixture into prepared pan and allow to cool before cutting into squares. (I cut 20 squares (5 by 4).
Notes
- To Store: These browned butter Rice Krispie Treats will stay soft and delicious for up to two days. I like to wrap each square individually in plastic wrap, to make sure they stay soft. If you want to store them for longer than two days, try freezing them.
- To Freeze: Allow these gooey Rice Krispie Treats to cool completely and cut them into squares. Freeze in an airtight container, or wrap each square in a piece of plastic wrap and place them in a gallon freezer bag. Freeze them for up to 3 months.
- 9x13 Inch Pan: Cut the ingredients in half and pour into a greased 9x13'' pan.
- Gluten Free Rice Krispies: Make sure the brand of rice krispies cereal you use is Gluten-free!
- Add-In Ideas: Butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, m&m’s, chopped Oreo cookies, Reese’s pieces, sprinkles or white chocolate chips.
- Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies: Substitute fruity pebbles in place of rice krispies, or use half of each.
- Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats: Substitute Cocoa Krispies as the cereal.
- Scotcheroos: These are Rice Krispies Treats flavored with peanut butter, chocolate, and butterscotch.
