Ultimate Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats
With brown butter, toasted milk powder, and generous amounts of vanilla and salt, these are so much more than your average Rice Krispies treats. There are a few tricks that make these treats soft yet slightly chewy — like adding a portion of the marshmallows right at the end of mixing to create pockets of ooey-gooey sweetness. These treats have become such a favorite of the King Arthur Editorial Team at staff gatherings, we’ve declared these the ultimate Rice Krispies treats!
This recipe was one of our Bake of the Week features for September 2023.
