Seriously. I hate Rice Krispies but I had to get rid of stuff in my pantry and made these bitches. They are glorious. I have eaten like 6 of them already. (More Rice Krispies today than I have eaten in my entire life.) Now question for you all – why would you NOT use brown butter in a recipe because I’m at the point where I’m gonna brown butter everything.

Looks like the reason for it tasting better, was the person who seems to have mastered making rice crispy treats. Looks incredibly tasty. Great work👏
I like browned butter in some recipes, but I would never use it in shortbread cookies or anything that calls for a delicate butter flavor.
I love Rice Krispy treats, and the butter generally gets a little browned, naturally, when making them. I’ve never found it necessary to do anything special to them outside of that.
I am glad you’ve finally learned of the deliciousness that is Rice Krispy treats! lol
Alton Brown’s recipe has brown butter and toasts the Rice Krispies which sounds absolutely amazing- def gonna try!

I cbf with doing browned butter, but I do toasted milk powder instead and feel the same with having it in most of my recipes. Everything tastes and smells better.
What “good” vanilla do you use??
Dude! Right? The other thing I do to these are roast the marshmallows in the oven before i melt them down. It’s such a bougie rice krispie square. Love it
Because they are delicious? I don’t understand the question
Rice Krispie treats are kind of the perfect brown butter application: they don’t get affected by the moisture loss from browning the butter and they get complexity from the toasty, nutty flavor profiles. The nuttiness can be overwhelming or compete with more delicate and fruity flavors.
I added some sweetened condensed milk to my rice krispies a few weeks ago too, sooo good!
Yesss, this is how I make mine now too and I’ve become such a Rice Krispie snob. Sure I’ll eat a Rice Krispie when it’s in front of me but I’ll be thinking about these the whole time 😂
100% agree. I put real vanilla extract in all my baked goods!
A confection from heaven.
I will fully admit that sometimes being lazy and just mixing everything together. but definitely delicious. I was double checking my ratios for the recipe and on The Rice krispie site they have a version using peeps marshmallows that I really want to try
Browned butter and a hit of salt along with vanilla is the only way adults should make basic Rice Krispies Treats. We like to make ours with Capn Crunch with crunch berries. And we do s’mores Rice Krispies, sometimes Oreos, once even a peanut butter and jelly rice kripie. I love that they’re so basic that you can make dozens of variants and just have fun and they’re welcome at every gathering. Usually get eaten long before fancier desserts.
Idk but that is my secret to EVERYTHING lol
[caramelized brown butter rice krispies treats](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/11587-caramelized-brown-butter-rice-krispies-treats?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share) is my absolute go to!
This looks good OP!
For even MORE flavor, toast the marshmallows before melting 😮💨
If you want true Nirvana make the marshmallow from scratch. Bravetart has a great recipe and each time its absolutely amazing.
Omg same! I never really ate rice krispy treats growing up but I made them recently for my kids and they’re so addicting! I use my homemade ghee and it the best rice krispy treats I’ve ever had!
Try a splash of almond extract once.. it gives a ‘sugar cookie’ type vibe.
