• Brown Butter Rice Crisp Treats

• 1 tablespoon butter
• Butter (or coat with non-stick spray) the sides and bottom of a 13x9 pan.
• 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
• In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. The butter will melt, foam, turn golden yellow, and will start to turn a light brown after about 5 minutes. Stir frequently. You may be impatient for it to start browning, but once the butter starts to take on a brown color it can start to burn within 30 to 60 seconds so it's important that you watch and stir frequently to know when it's ready.
• 10 ounces marshmallows
• As soon as the butter takes on a nutty brown color, turn the heat off and stir in the marshmallows. If marshmallows do not melt easily, heat on low briefly.
• 10 ounces rice crisp cereal (organic if possible), about 7 ½ cups
• ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
• Remove the pot from the stove and stir in the salt and cereal together. Quickly spread into prepared pan. Using a silicone spatula, evenly spread and press down the mixture until flat and even.
• Let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and get ready to make new friends.
