Grown-Up Krispy Treats!

You'd think after all that money I spent on going to school, learning how to make every little sweet piece under the sun, I'd have some kind of refined palate when it comes to my absolute favorite dessert item.  Not so, because to this day, my absolute favorite, favorite, FAVORITE dessert is still the same: Rice Krispy treats.  I've spent my fair share of time coming up with different combinations and flavors of Krispy treats and I think I may have found my favorite.


Reading through the amazing compilation cookbook, The Essential New York Times Cookbook,  I found the most amazing looking recipe for Caramelized Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats.  Um, say whaaaaaat?!?!?!  The next day I grabbed everything I needed and went to work.  I've made a few changes to the recipe, that I think improved it, but overall, this is the yummiest Krispy recipe I've ever had.  Be warned, it's a bit more time consuming that your normal recipe, but in the end, it's more than worth it.


Caramelized Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treats
  • Crisped Rice Cereal: 9 C
    • The original recipe called for an entire 12oz box, and even though I prefer my treats on the dry side, they ended up palate ripping dry.
  • Butter, Unsalted: 1 C (2 Sticks)
  • Large Marshmallows: One 10 oz package
  • Salt: 1/2 t
  • Almonds, Chopped or Sliced, Toasted: 1/2 C
    • To toast: Preheat oven to 350 °.  Place Almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven.  Keep a close eye on them and toast them to where you prefer them to be.  I like mine a little on the dark side.

Thoroughly butter a 11x17 baking sheet, a 9x13 baking pan, or 2-9" cake rounds, depending on the thickness you like or the shape you want.

Place your butter in an 8qt stock pot and cook on medium-low, stirring often, until your butter starts browning and getting that tasty nutty aroma.  Make sure you keep a close, close eye on your butter so it doesn't scorch.  When it gets to a medium brown (you'll have to push the foam out of the way so you can see it), stir in all of your marshmallows and salt, until the marshmallows are completely melted.  Keep cooking and stirring often until your marshmallows have gotten to a nice, medium golden brown.  Stir in the almonds until just incorporated.


Melty Buttery Marshmallowy Goodness
Remove your pot from the heat, and immediately stir in your rice cereal until completely coated with your marshmallow mixture.  


All Mixed Up


Quickly put into your prepared pan and use either your hands or a silicone spatula to push your mixture down into a nice, even layer.




Let your treats cool completely before slicing, or covering with plastic wrap.



Now Try This!

Why not try to mix in a little honey with your marshmallows (2 Tablespoons should do it).

  1. I'm proud to say now that I am finally at a place where I have found something that works for me. Almost four years ago I began seeing a classical Homeopath. I was put on a constitutional remedy by Dr Itua herbal center who reside in west africa, and I am amazed at my healing thus far. I will continue to post what worked for me and what didn't in more blogs to come (as this one is getting quite long... and I'm not writing a book on here - not yet anyway). This discovery has not only helped the way I practice, but it has also given me further insight into the world of Herbal  medicine. I came to know more about Dr Itua on Tv Station when I was taking my regular organic coffee at javamania coffee spot I watched the whole scene on how he uses Natural herbs to cure disease like Herpes, Hiv/Aids, Cancers,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, Neuroendocrine tumors,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,Alzheimer's disease, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Parkinson's disease, Als And Diabetes, I was moved by his words then I took a confident step to contact him regarding my health condition Herpes & Prostate Cancer, He prepared his herbal medicine then sent it to me through Courier which I took as it's was instructed and I found myself healing symptoms are all gone I have being watching my health for years now and I finally confirmed that is a permanent cure like he told me at our first conversations so now I'm healthy and happy I purchase his herbal tea which I usually take in the morning before starting my day because it feels good to find addiction on natural herbs than medical drugs so is what I'm doing and loving it more and More to come later on blogs sooner I will be writing my book.I will advise you to contact Doctor Itua Herbal Center for any kind of permanent cure and herbal remedy.Doctor Itua Email Contact: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Also On Whats-App Calls: +2348149277967.
