Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats + Video

April 20, 2020

The Best Rice Krispies Treats

Rice Krispies treats have always been fine in my book. Not my favorite. Just fine. Just okay. That is, until I tried Smitten Kitchen’s Rice Krispies treats. Salted brown butter Rice Krispies treats. They are sheer perfection. They are my contribution to 90% of potlucks and birthday parties. They are, simply put, the best version of Rice Krispies treats out there, especially zhuzzed up with just a tiny bit more salt than the original recipe. Ah, yes.

What Makes These Rice Krispies Treats So Amazing? 

  1. Double butter. They’re totally healthy. Got it? Butter is health food. The extra butter makes them so rich but also it makes the texture absolutely amazing.
  2. Browning the butter. Shhhhhh. Trust me. This adds a depth of flavor that you won’t even believe, and if you are willing to stand and watch the butter for five minutes so it doesn’t burn, it’s totally easy too.
  3. Salt. Just a little bit. I love a sweet and salty vibe. Did you know that salt intensifies flavors? Don’t leave it out here.
  4. Using a small pan. Usually, this size recipe for RKTs would be made in a 9×13 inch pan. I make them in an 8×8 inch pan so they are double thick. Combined with the double butter, this makes the texture of these RKTs out of this world.

How Do You Make Salted Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats?

Glad you asked! They’re so easy!

  1. Butter an 8×8-inch square baking pan.
  2. Place one stick (4 ounces or 8 tablespoons) of unsalted butter in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring/swirling frequently, until the butter is golden brown. Don’t turn your back – it will burn in an instant!
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt (or 3/4 teaspoon of table salt, which is much saltier than kosher salt).
  4. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows.
  5. Stir the marshmallows until completely melted. I find it helpful to place the pan back over medium heat to help the marshmallows melt.
  6. Stir in 6 ounces (half of a regular size box) of crisped rice cereal. I am not brand loyal. This is about 5 1/2 cups of cereal.
  7. Turn the mixture into the buttered pan.
  8. Use the butter wrapper to press the mixture into the pan.
  9. Cool the treats completely. Turn them out onto a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

By the way, Deb Perelman’s recipe is featured in her original Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. I also love her second cookbook, Smitten Kitchen Every Day.  She has wonderful recipes.  I encourage you to check out her website and her books!

Since I discovered the tricks of doubling the butter and using a smaller pan, I have developed a true passion for Rice Krispies treats. Try my other recipes: wedding cake Rice Krispies treats, candy corn Rice Krispies treats, and malted chocolate Rice Krispies treats!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter plus more for buttering the pan
  • 1 bag miniature marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 6 ounces (1/2 of a regular size box) crisped rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Generously butter an 8 x 8 dish.
  2. Place the stick of butter into a Dutch oven over medium heat. Don't throw away the wrapper-I like to smear a little bit of the butter that I used to butter the pan onto the wrapper (I'll use this at the end).
  3. Cook the butter, stirring frequently, until browned bits separate and the butter stops foaming. Don't walk away or you'll burn the butter!
  4. Stir in the marshmallows and the salt. Stir until completely melted and smooth and remove from heat.
  5. Add the cereal and stir until completely coated with the marshmallows. Spread into the buttered pan. Use the buttered wrapper to press the mixture into the pan.
  6. Allow the Rice Krispies treats to cool completely. Turn out of the pan and cut into squares.

Christmas Perfection!

Last Christmas, an article on Snapchat alerted me to something wonderful: peppermint ice cream served in white chocolate and peppermint tipped waffle cones at Disney World. These cones are only available during the holiday season. Let me tell you – I was immediately smitten and decided that this Christmas I would have to recreate this at home.

Authentic? Who Cares?

Now, I haven’t actually had the Disney World version (actually Edy’s/Dreyer’s ice cream) but who cares? Peppermint ice cream in peppermint ice cream cones? Yes. Please. I decided to go for sugar cones instead of waffle cones because I like to be a little more moderate with my desserts but I feel pretty confident that sugar cones are just as great of a medium for chocolate peppermint ice cream cones as waffle cones.

Peppermint Ice Cream & Eggnog Season

Ever since I was a kid I have waited impatiently for the Christmas season to arrive. Not so much for the gifts, but for two other reasons: eggnog and peppermint ice cream. I mean, why on earth is peppermint ice cream only available two months out of the year?

4-Ingredient Ice Cream

I’ve solved that problem, though. This no-churn peppermint ice cream only has four ingredients: sweetened condensed milk, peppermint extract, heavy cream, and peppermints or peppermint bark (I went with the latter). I have to say, I think that my no-churn peppermint ice cream is better than any storebought peppermint ice cream I’ve ever had! It takes ten minutes to put this together, then you freeze and you’re ready to go!

The trick to getting a great texture with no-churn ice cream is to let it stand at room temperature just until it starts to soften. It’s great by itself or with the chocolate-peppermint ice cream cones I’ll be sharing with you guys on Monday!

No-Churn Ice Cream

I love my ice cream maker. It’s a fun little contraption that hooks right on to my stand mixer and whirs away to make a perfectly creamy confection. But…it also involves a bowl that must be frozen before you can use it and several parts that have to be washed after. Plus, a lot of people don’t have ice cream makers, so I have been making more and more ice cream recipes “no-churn”, which is gloriously quick and simple.

Pumpkin ice cream is one of those things that makes a brief appearance in your grocer’s freezer section from maybe mid-September through November then disappears never to be seen again until the next year. Unlike its counterpart, “pumpkin spice everything“, pumpkin ice cream contains actual pumpkin, or at least pumpkin flavor. In my book, the pumpkin makes a difference.

Five-Ingredient Ice Cream

No-churn pumpkin ice cream with dulce de leche has five ingredients: pumpkin (duh), sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, pumpkin pie spice, and canned dulce de leche (which is my latte sweetener of choice at the moment). It takes about ten minutes to assemble from start to finish, assuming you aren’t making a video of it (you probably aren’t). A few hours or overnight in the freezer and you have pumpkin ice cream worthy of ice cream shop fame.

Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (I've included my homemade blend below)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup canned dulce de leche (at my grocery store, this is in the same section as sweetened condensed milk)
  • Homemade pumpkin pie spice blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the pumpkin mixture to lighten it. Fold the remaining whipped cream in until well combined.
  4. Warm the dulce de leche in the microwave for 30 seconds or in a saucepan over medium heat until stir-able. Spread 1/3 of the mixture into a loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of the dulce de leche over the layer and use a knife to swirl. Repeat twice. Freeze the ice cream for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  5. Allow the ice cream to stand at room temperature for about ten minutes before serving.

Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats + Video

Rice Krispies Treats!

Question: Is there any limit to how many variations you can make on Rice Krispies treats? Answer: No, no there is not.

To be 100% honest with you, if you had asked me prior to this Fall if I liked candy corn I would have told you no. I had this recipe idea, though, and wanted to try it out. I snuck a few pieces of the candy corn and as I was eating them I realized that I do like candy corn, but only in very small doses.

Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats!

The idea for this Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats actually came from another food blogger. I saw her post on Pinterest…she had made adorable Rice Krispies treats that looked like candy corn…dyed and cut to look like a triangular, striped piece of candy corn. Very cute, but I wanted to make something for the die-hard candy corn lovers out there…something that contained candy corn.

Look, candy corn Rice Krispies Treats are not rocket science. It’s a basic RKT recipe with melted candy corn added. It’s very rich, but it’s tasty and fun…and Halloween only comes once a year, right?

My Recipes My Lists My Calendar

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter plus about half a tablespoon for greasing the pan
  • 1 1/2 cups candy corn (chop 1/2 cup into smaller pieces)
  • 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
  • 6 ounces (half a 12-ounce box) crisped rice cereal

Instructions

  1. Use the half tablespoon of butter to grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter (don't throw away the butter wrapper yet) and the unchopped cup of candy corn over medium heat, stirring constantly. You may begin to think that the candy corn will never melt, but I promise it will.
  3. Once the butter and candy corn has melted completely, stir in the marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows have melted completely and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and add the cereal. Stir until the mixture is well-combined and homogenous.
  4. Spread the cereal and marshmallow mixture into the greased pan. Use the butter wrapper (I like to smear just a little more butter on it) to press the mixture down into the pan. Press the chopped candy corn into the top.
  5. Allow the treats to cool completely. Turn out of the pan and flip over so that the candy corn is facing up. Cut into squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
