Brown Butter and Sea Salt Rice Krispies

I like college football on Saturdays. A lot. A whole heck of a lot.

And when we order pizza I eat it straight from the box. Plates kind of get in the way of the relationship between the pizza and my face.

That was a weird way of wording things.

New topic. Jeans. Super worn. Kinda hole-y. It gives them character. And a whole lotta comfort.

No fuss. No frills. Simple is best.

Except for when it comes to rice krispie treats.

Whaaaaa???

Backwards. I know. But fancypants rice krispies are the real deal. A little brown butter. A little sea salt. Mind blowing.

I like to eat them in my comfy jeans. While hoping Alabama loses.

I'm going to stuff a few more in my face right now in case I offended you and your Alabama football team.

Brown Butter and Sea Salt Rice Krispies
recipe adapted from Smitten Kitchen

6 cups Rice Krispies
1 10 oz. bag marshmallows
1 stick butter
1/4 tsp sea salt

Mix Rice Krispies cereal and sea salt in a large bowl. Set aside. To brown butter, heat in a skillet over medium-low heat.



Continue stirring after butter is melted. It will eventually begin to foam, then turn a brown color and smell nutty.



Stay with the butter and stir occasionally so it does not burn. When butter has browned, reduce heat to low and add marshmallows.



Stir with a silicone spoon until marshmallows have melted.



Pour melted marshmallows and brown butter into the bowl of cereal and sea salt. Mix well.



Press into a greased 9x13" pan and let sit at room temperature for at least a half hour before cutting.
