Vanilla & Brown Butter Crispy Treats
Adapted from [Smitten Kitchen|http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/11/salted-brown-butter-crispy-treats/]
Ingredients
- 1/2c butter
- 10oz mini marshmallows, 1/4c reserved
- 1t vanilla
- 6c crispy rice cereal
- 1/4t coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large pot, brown the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. The butter will melt, then foam and bubble, then begin to brown. As soon as it smells nutty and the color has changed, remove from heat (if you don't watch it closely here, it will burn).
Pour marshmallows, followed by vanilla, directly into hot browned butter and stir until marshmallows melt and are smooth. Add cereal and salt. Stir to coat and fold in reserved mini marshmallows.
Press lightly into a 9 inch round (for triangles) or square (for squares) pan. Allow to firm up a bit - at least 10 minutes - before slicing.
