Salted Brown Butter Rice Crispy Treats

I love a good rice crispy treat, and although a jazzed-up RCT is delish, sometimes you just want the classic version. These delicious little squares are pretty simple, and SUPER easy to make. I browned the butter a little bit, added some vanilla and almond extract, and then topped them with Maldon Sea Salt to make them even more addicting. These bad boys are very hard to stop eating, and you and whoever else gets to try them should be pretty obsessed.

Ingredients

• 9 cups rice crispy cereal
• 2 10 oz bags mini marshmallows
• 1/2 cup salted butter (2 sticks)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• Maldon Sea Salt

Instructions

1. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter.
2. In a large heavy pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking the butter, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it; once it starts browning, it can go quickly.
3. Once the butter is browned, remove the pot from the heat. Immediately stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract into the hot butter.
4. Return the pot to low heat, then add the marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and well combined with the butter.
5. Pour the Rice Krispies into the pot. Stir until the cereal is uniformly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
6. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a greased spatula (or greased hands) or a piece of parchment paper to press it down evenly.
7. While the mixture is still warm, sprinkle Maldon sea salt over the top.
8. Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or stick in the fridge until set.
9. Once set, lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper, then cut into squares with a sharp knife & ENJOYYYY!!!
