Ingredients You Will Need
How to Make the Marshmallow Mixture
Step 1: Melt the butter in a large saucepan on medium-low heat.
Step 2: Continue heating the butter and stirring until you have Brown Butter.
Step 3: Add 7 cups of the Mini Marshmallows to the brown butter.
Step 4: On medium-low heat, stir the marshmallows so they are completely covered in the melted brown butter. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and then take the pan off the heat.
Adding the Rice Krispie Cereal
Step 5: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the pan.
Step 6: Fold together until the cereal is covered in the brown butter marshmallow mixture.
Assembly Instructions
Step 7: Spoon the mixture into a 9×13″ pan. We line our pan with a piece of parchment paper to make removing the treats from the pan easier.
Step 8: Lightly press the mixture into the pan. You don’t want to press the mixture down too compactly, just smooth the top with a spatula or butter your fingers and pat down the top.
Step 9: Sprinkle 1 cup of Mini Marshmallows on the top of the treats.
Step 10: Place the pan under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until the Marshmallows are toasted. Watch closely so the marshmallows don’t burn.
Steps 11-12: Let the Rice Krispie Treats cool and then cut them into squares.
Serving/Storage Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats will last 2-3 days at room temperature in an air-tight container before they start to get stale. You can extend that timeline a few days if you store them in the refrigerator and then take them out about 30 minutes before you eat them. They freeze up great though and that is what we do if we want to make these ahead of time for a party or a family gathering. They defrost very quickly and taste great once they are defrosted. You can keep them in the freezer for up to a couple of months.
