Grown Up Rice Krispy Treats
This original Rice Krispy Treat recipe is kicked up with the addition of browned butter, dark chocolate, and sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 10 Ounces mini marshmallows (for chewier treats throw in an extra 1/2 cup)
- 6 Cups Rice Krispy Cereal
- 1 1/2 Cups Dark Chocolate Morsels
- Sea Salt Flakes (to taste)
Instructions
- Bring butter to a soft melty browned state in a large pan. Once melted, swirl in the pan until it has a nutty aroma and is darkened in color.
- Add marshmallows and stir until melted and bubbly.
- With mixture in the pan, on the lowest heat setting, slowly add cereal in one cup measurements. Incorporate/coat cereal evenly before adding more until all six cups have been incorporated.
- Turn off heat, and quickly fold in dark chocolate morsels. Some will melt, some will be soft, some will stay firm. Speed is your friend here!
- Press mixture into a prepared baking pan. (I used a regular cake pan with parchment and spray)
- When bars are still tacky, sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
- Allow to cool (I wasn’t able to, I ate mine warm) and cut and serve.
