Small Batch Rice Krispie Treats
These small batch rice krispie treats are made with browned butter and just a bit of salt, which adds so much flavor. This smaller recipe is perfect when you need a little something sweet!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 5 ounces (142 g) mini marshmallows 3 cups
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) flaked sea salt
- 2½ cups (92 g) rice krispie cereal
- ½ cup (25 g) mini marshmallows for mixing in after
Instructions
- Spray an 8x4 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. Can also line with parchment paper.
- Start by browning the butter. You'll take 3 tbsp. of butter and melt in a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Allow the butter to cook past the point of the butter foaming, until it turns a light golden brown, and has a nutty smell. Make sure you are stirring occasionally and watching it, because it will turn from perfectly brown to burnt fairly quickly.
- Turn the heat to low and add marshmallows, vanilla and salt to pan and stir until marshmallows are completely melted.
- Remove from heat and add rice krispies and stir until completely coated. Allow to sit for a few minutes to cool a bit.
- Fold in extra ½ cup of marshmallows.
- Pour mixture into prepared pan. Press down firmly to create an even layer and compact the rice krispie treats. Top with a bit more flaked salt.
- Allow to cool/set completely before serving.
Notes
If you do not want to brown the butter just use 2 tablespoons of butter instead of 3, and mix in the marshmallows as soon as the butter is melted in the saucepan.
I also love these with a handful of m&m's mixed in.
