CARAMELIZED BROWN BUTTER RICE KRISPIES TREATS



Caramelized Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats image

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.)

Categories     easy, dessert

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup Brown Butter, recipe follows, at room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter

Steps:

  • Cream the Brown Butter with both sugars in a stand mixer until well combined.
  • Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Add the vanilla and stir to combine. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and mix well.
  • Combine the flour, salt and baking soda in a separate bowl. Mix carefully into the egg/butter mixture until well combined. Add the quick-cooking oats and mix well again. Add the finely chopped pecans and mix well to combine.
  • Divide the dough in half and place each half of the dough on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll the dough into a log and wrap it tightly in the waxed paper. Now you can either chill or freeze the dough until later, or you can go ahead and slice and bake the dough.
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the dough 3/4-inch-thick, then place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until they are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the cookie sheets.
  • Add the butter to a medium skillet over medium heat. Allow it to melt and bubble up, swirling the pan to keep the butter moving around, for 3 to 4 minutes. When the butter is a medium golden brown, remove the pan from the heat (it will continue browning in the pan over the next 30 seconds or so!). Pour the butter (and any solids in the bottom of the pan) into a heatproof bowl and allow it to cool completely, about 30 minutes.

BROWN RICE CRISPY TREATS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield about 24 bars, depending on shapes

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (10-ounce) bag marshmallows
6 cups brown rice cereal, such as Koala Crisp
1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins, optional
2 tablespoons sesame or sunflower seeds, optional

Steps:

  • Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Quickly stir in the marshmallows and cook until completely melted. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in cereal, and dried fruit and seeds if using, until well coated and combined. Spray a rubber spatula or wooden spoon with nonstick cooking spray and press mixture evenly into pan. Cool and cut into 2 by 2-inch squares or use cookie cutters to cut into playful shapes. Pack in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This allows you to control the amount of salt in the recipe and prevents the treats from becoming too salty.
  • Brown the butter until it is a deep golden brown color: This will give the treats a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Use a large pot or saucepan: The mixture will bubble up and expand, so you need a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Stir the mixture constantly: This will prevent the butter from burning and will help the marshmallows to melt evenly.
  • Be careful when adding the cereal: The mixture will be very hot, so add the cereal slowly and carefully to avoid splattering.
  • Press the treats into the pan firmly: This will help them to hold their shape and will prevent them from crumbling.
  • Let the treats cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and will make them easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Brown butter crispy treats are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover marshmallows and are always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious treats at home.
