Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, salted
- 10 oz mini marshmallows, reserve 1 cup to stir in at the end
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal
- ¼ tsp sea salt, flaked
Instructions
- Coat a 9"x9" baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat butter over medium heat. Stir often until butter is melted and begins to toast lightly. The color should turn a golden brown and give a nutty smell. This should take about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the marshmallows to the browned butter (reserve 1 cup for the end). Stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour in the puffed rice cereal and sea salt and stir to coat. Finally, stir in the remaining 1 cup of mini marshmallows and fold into the treats. Quickly pour this mixture into the prepared pan and gently press down. *use a sheet of parchment paper on top of the treats to keep your fingers clean while pressing down
- Let the treats cool before slicing into squares and enjoying!

Hello Shawn, I’m such big fan of you and all of your delicious meals! I’m always bragging about your recipes to my family. I’ve made so many of your recipes and I even ordered your cook book. Theres lots of love and heartiness put into your meals. Anyway, I’m in the process of making your Browned Butter Rice Krispy treats. I don’t have mini marshmallows, but I have the large ones. Can I use those instead, and if so how much do need?
