Ingredients




5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bag large marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispie treats
1/2 teaspoon 1 tsp Secret Stash Salt vanilla salt (to taste)

Preparation

1 Grease a 9"x12" baking pan with butter (generously, salted butter if you choose) 2 In a stock pan or Dutch oven, slowly melt the remaining butter and cook it until it reaches brown butter stage. 3 Add the marshmallows to the pan and stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan to dislodge any stuck-on and caramelized bits. Cook until the marshmallows are completely melted and then cook a little bit more, until it starts to turn light brown. 4 Add the cereal all at once and stir vigorously until it is mostly coated with the cooked marshmallow cream. 5 Sprinkle half of the the salt into the cereal and continue stirring. 6 Scrape the cereal mixture into the prepared pan. If you haven't already done so, take a little bite of the cereal to test for salt. If it needs more sprinkle more over the top. 7 With greased hands, press the cereal mixture into the pan. 8 Allow it to rest until cooled, and then cut. Store in an airtight container.
