BROWNED BUTTER KRISPY RICE TREATS

This dessert is something we'd never make on Good Eats because it depends upon a very specific brand of cereal. If you're going to make Rice Krispie Treats, you better be using Rice Krispies, not "puffed rice cereal," because here the brand really makes a difference.And while you're at it, use a couple of other name brands: Jet-Puffed mini marshmallows and Kerrygold butter. They make all the difference in the world. I also like to toast two of these three ingredients - the butter and the actual cereal - and stash the entire dessert in a very clever mold.This recipe first appeared in the Pantry Raid video series.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18-ounce) bag Rice Krispies
8 tablespoons unsalted Kerrygold butter
2 (10-ounce) bags Jet-Puffed mini marshmallows
2 big pinches kosher salt

Steps:

  • Pour the Rice Krispies into a very large wok, reserving the box and bag. (If you don't have a wok, pull out the largest pot you've got.) Place over medium-high heat and cook, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as needed, until the cereal has turned slightly darker brown and tastes toasted. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Place the butter in the wok and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring and swirling the pan frequently, until the butter melts, foams, and turns light golden brown.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the marshmallows. Cook, now stirring with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth. Stir in the salt.
  • Reduce the heat all the way to low and add the Rice Krispies back to the wok. Stir gently until all of the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture, then remove from the heat.
  • Spray the inside of the now-empty cereal bag with non-stick oil spray, then carefully pack the Rice Krispie mixture into the bag. Let cool before eating straight from the box.

CARAMELIZED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS

This absurdly easy recipe came to The Times from Colin Alevras, then the chef at the Tasting Room in New York, which, until it closed in 2008, offered Rice Krispies treats every day, and made more for Halloween. Browning the butter elevates these plebeian snacks into something more toothsome, and it adds just an extra couple of minutes to the process. They're so good. (The original recipe called for one bag of marshmallows, but after retesting, we've updated it to call for two bags. This should yield a chewier, gooier treat.)

Time 15m

Yield 30 to 50 treats

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 ounces butter, salted or unsalted, preferably cultured, plus extra for pan
2 10 1/2-ounce bag marshmallows (see note)
1 12-ounce box Rice Krispies cereal

Steps:

  • Line rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or wax paper, or butter it well.
  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. It will melt, then foam, then turn clear golden and finally start to turn brown and smell nutty. Watch closely and stir often.
  • When butter is evenly browned, stir in marshmallows. (If using unsalted butter, stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt.) Melt and cook, stirring often, until mixture turns pale brown, then stir constantly until lightly browned but not dark, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, add cereal, and mix well, preferably with a silicone spoon or a spatula. Scrape into prepared pan and press down lightly. If necessary, butter hands to press mixture flat. Let cool, and cut into squares or bars.

CARAMELIZED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS



Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats image

This is from the NY Times. I've tried this twice. Like most NY Times recipes it wasn't very specific. The first time I made it in a 9x13 pan but I thought they were too thick. The second time I made them in a half sheet pan with a Silpat on the bottom and they came out better. This comes out much crispier than regular Rice Krispie treats. You can use salted or unsalted butter.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the treats will taste. Look for good-quality butter, marshmallows, and cereal.
  • Brown the butter properly: The browned butter is what gives these treats their unique flavor. Be sure to cook the butter over medium heat until it is a deep golden brown color.
  • Don't overcook the marshmallows: The marshmallows should be melted but not overcooked. Overcooked marshmallows will make the treats tough and chewy.
  • Add the cereal while the mixture is still hot: This will help the cereal to adhere to the marshmallows and create a more cohesive treat.
  • Press the treats firmly into the pan: This will help them to hold their shape when you cut them.
  • Chill the treats before cutting them: This will make them easier to cut and will help them to keep their shape.
  • Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature: The treats will keep for up to 3 days.
