Salted & Spiced Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 (10 ounce) bag marshmallows
6 cups rice krispies cereal
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Preparation

Spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over low heat. Keep a close eye on the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a light caramel color and begins to smell nutty. Do not let the butter burn. Add the marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows melt & the mixture is smooth.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt & pinch of cayenne pepper, followed by the Rice Krispies. If your pot isn't very big, I find that adding the cereal in two batches helps you not make as much of a mess on the floor!
Quickly turn the mixture into prepared pan and press into edges and corners using a piece of waxed paper.
Let cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
