Instructions
1
|
Pour Rice Krispies cereal in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
2
|
Reserve 1 cup of the mini marshmallows and set a side to add later as an mix in.
3

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Keep cooking, stirring often, until it foams, turns golden, and smells nutty — about 5–7 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon if you plan to make the brown butter glaze.
4
|
Lower the heat and stir in the mini marshmallows (make sure 1 cup is set aside). Mix until smooth and fully melted. About 5 minutes. Add vanilla and kosher salt, stir till combined and remove from heat.

Pour melted marshmallows over the Rice Krispies cereal until coated. Gently stir in the reserved 1 cup of mini marshmallows for gooey bites.
6
|
Grease or line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment or an 8x8 pan for thick and tall bakery style. Lightly press the mixture into the pan with a buttered spatula or the back of the butter wrappers. Don’t pack too tightly — this keeps the treats soft.
7
|
Let cool for at least 30 minutes, then cut into squares. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt if desired.
8
|
Whisk together the reserved 1 TBSP brown butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1–2 TBSP milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled treats.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter Properly 🧈Cook butter over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, swirling occasionally until it turns golden with a nutty aroma—don't let it burn or turn black, as this ruins the delicate flavor profile.
- Cool Butter Before Mixing 🌡️Let your browned butter cool for 2-3 minutes after removing from heat before adding marshmallows to prevent them from melting too quickly and creating an overly greasy texture.
- Toast Your Cereal First 🥘Lightly toast the Rice Krispies in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and prevent them from becoming soggy when combined with the buttery mixture.
- Use Vanilla Bean Paste Strategically ✨Add half the vanilla bean paste to the brown butter mixture and reserve the rest to swirl on top before setting—this creates layers of vanilla flavor and a more luxurious appearance.
- Butter Your Pan and Use Parchment 📋Line your baking pan with parchment paper and butter it generously, then lightly butter your spatula—this prevents sticking and makes cleanup effortless while ensuring clean, professional-looking edges.
