brown butter s’mores rice krispie treats

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoon butter sliced into tablespoons
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups krispie rice cereal
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers roughly chopped
  • 4 Hershey's bars
  • ~¾ bag of large marshmallows

Instructions

  • Line 9x13" pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In large pot, add butter over medium heat.
  • Stirring frequently, if not constantly, melt butter and continue to cook butter until brown specks appear. Then immediately remove from heat.
  • Add marshmallows and stir, stir, stir, until they are melted.
  • Add rice krispies and chopped graham crackers, stirring well to combine.
  • Add half of the rice krispie mixture to bottom of prepared pan, gently pressing to form bottom layer.
  • Add Hershey's evenly on top of rice krispie mixture.
  • For the marshmallow layer, you can brown the marshmallows in three various ways:
  • 1. Place the marshmallows on top of chocolate and then, using a creme brulee torch, brown the marshmallows.
  • 2. Turn on broiler. Place marshmallows on top of chocolate layer, then place under broiler for 1-2 minutes until marshmallows are brown.
  • 3. Place marshmallows on skewers and brown them on top of stove (using gas stove).
  • Top marshmallows with remaining rice krispie mixture, pressing it out evenly.

Notes

I've included three different ways to get your marshmallows brown/burnt to get that real s'mores flavor. I used skewers and browned my marshmallows over the stove and would recommend doing them one at a time. While this was a bit time consuming (~10 minutes), it was much easier than when I tried doing them 2 or 3 at a time and I was able to get them evenly brown by spinning them over the flame, then immediately blowing flame out.
