Coincidentally, I have been making these weekly the past several weeks. So delicious. Sometimes I add a tablespoon of bourbon and sometimes I drizzle with melted dark chocolate. But they are wonderful as is.
@@allietabberer5519 if you do add bourbon, be sure to sprinkle more flaky salt in top. A magical combo, especially with the already magical browned butter and salt inside. I also add an extra (hefty) pinch to the heaping 1/4 teaspoon in the cereal mixture when I add bourbon.
It’s Wednesday! Yayyy!! Oh yum, can’t wait to try this method. I save the butter wrapper to press down my crispy treats into the pan. The butter leftover on the wax-paper like wrap does a perfect job without sticking!
Thanks so much for sharing this tip! My most recent method has been spraying nonstick spray onto my palm and using my hand to press them into the pan but I’m totally trying your way.
I’ve been making these for years; I add 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallows before stirring in the cereal. I’ve made them so much that your recipe is now mine 😆
My husband yelled “this is the best treat I’ve ever had!!” Thanks Deb. Your book saved our pandemic. I’m not allowed to try any “not Deb” recipes anymore 😂 Shout out to your street chicken 🙇♀️
I have made these hundreds of times (no exaggeration) and they are a hit every time. Every. Single. Time. I always double it and do it in a bigger pan (or even 2 pans, if I want to make them smaller).
I’ve made these countless times, I love when kids-who are used to the packaged ones-take a bite and are stopped in their tracks! Yes, kids, your lives have been a lie until now. 🤣
I use brown butter in my chocolate chip cookies - never thought of using them in RK treats! Great idea. Lately I’ve been using 3 cups of RK’s AND 3 cups of crushed ripple salted potato chips! Yum & crunch!
My husband and I was at this new little restaurant just looking at the menu so we could friday. They had Individually wrapped treats and they had these so my husband got me one I loved it. So I had to find a recipe, and I found yours. So I'm definitely going to make them.
My niece (she met you on the street/Manhattan) and I try to make every recipe of your's whenever we're together. We thank you for making food so much fun and easy. We look forward to The Smitten Kitten e-mail every week and start talking about it on wednesday's... is that obsessive? Keep up the great work, it truly is appreciated. Uncle Tommy and Megan.
A friend introduced me to these. I make a smaller amount using about 2 tablespoons of butter that I brown in the microwave and then add about a cup of Marshmallow Fluff. I love the extra vanillaey flavor and the gooey texture. I microwave for about 15 more seconds just to warm the fluff up. I then stir the butter and marshmallow fluff together and add a little vanilla extract and some sea salt. Toasting the rice crispies is also really delicious, but the beurre noisette is enough to make these amazing. I usually toast an entire cereal box full then put htem back in the box once they’re cool. That way I have some whenever I want to make rice crispy treats. I add enough rice crispies to make the mixture not gooey sticky and eat warm with a spoon.
Well...what can I say? OMW, these were great. Browning the butter & adding sea salt was The Game Changer!! I made today for St. Patrick's Day and decorated. The flavor is unbeatable. I will be making these AGAIN!!
I made these last week and OMG-SOOOOOOOO GOOD! Then, I went on to make your brownies, corn salad and blueberry crumb bars. Your recipes are ALWAYS on point and turn out delicious!! Thanks for making me look like a rock star in the kitchen!
oh my goodness thought I was looking for a simple way to make these treats and I was caught up in how passionate you were about making these now I have to try thr brown butter!!
I’ve now made these a staple treat in our house, using the seasonal Cinnamon Rice Krispies, for added flavor complexity. A favorite in our house. Thanks, Deb!!
My husband used to travel a lot for work, and when I would go with him, I would buy the ingredients for these and make them in the hotel room kitchenette. He once had a student not originally from America, and she had never had krispy treats before. She ate so many of them. And asked for the recipe. Also, my sister-in-law asks for these for her birthday every year.
watching one video and I am HOOKED on your soothing voice and amazing recipe. Trust me I made these for a party thinking oh people aren’t gonna be that wild about them but people DEVOURED THEM !!
I made these 20 mins ago after finding this recipe yesterday and OMG it's a keeper. Absolutely delicious! The only thing I added was a Tblsp of vanilla. Divine! Thanks for this amazing recipe!
After making these treats several years ago, I cannot make any others. These are the absolute best! And, I love watching you on video! Keep it up, Deb. 😊
Omg just found this and followed it tastes so similar to how my mom made them! I haven’t had these in years and had a craving for them - the ones in store by Rice Crispies are too sweet and artificial for my liking. Thank you! ❤
Oh I've been making this from your cookbook for years and it's a favourite. So easy but it's perfect with your adjustments. So glad I have the cookbook.
I am so happy you are doing these videos. Thanks so much for sharing. I never realized I was not browning my butter enough until I saw your visual and explanation. Love these treats!
You Rock, so cute! I have been reading your blog for years but this is the first RU-vid video I have watched. Love it… spreading this one to all my friends and family!! 💕💕💕
I'm so excited about this video series!! I've been making this recipe occasionally for a couple years, but I've stopped recently because the past couple times the treats came out a little hard, not fluffy enough - watching this video made me realize I was overcooking the marshmallows and over-stirring once I added the cereal, and now that I know...these will be happening as a back-to-school treat in my house this week!
Butter makes all food better, and this brown butter recipe sounds like a plan, to me. Nice to see a nice variation that isn't sweeter than usual, really nice touch w the salt, thanks for sharing :)
I have made these several times and they are really SO GOOD. I like to add some chocolate by mixing in mini m&ms, it's fun for a pop of color too. But really, it doesn't need them. However, I asked my son if he'd like these and he said yes with m&ms!
I'll have to try this with the browned butter. I use the mini marshmallows and always add another 5 oz (1/2 bag) of them when I mix the cereal into the melted marshmallows. And sprinkles for the season. My son-in-law has said he could eat the whole pan by himself.
I haven’t tried these yet but I am so excited to make them. They look so awesome. Thank you for a great treat. The regular rice crispy treats have always been a favorite in our family but this takes it to another level~ 😊♥️
I make these all the time! Any time I share them with adults, like when I bring them to work or a party, I always hear someone say, "These are the best rice krispie treats I've ever had!" I don't tweak the recipe - it's perfect as-is.
Deb isn’t kidding when she says they disappear at parties. They are so beloved by my friend group that I nearly always make a double batch and they still disappear quickly.
My first and frequent return-to recipe of yours. They're brilliant. Good to see exactly how 'brown' the butter should get. On a tv presentation note: Much better. You keep your gaze on the camera and don't look away. Your 'vocal fry' has really improved. Still occasionally doing your upward inflections but that seems to be when you are really trying to communicate how good the recipe is. I'm not being rude but, I hope, helpful. I've been a tv anchor and coach for many years.
I just made these just now because of a craving...but since we are out of Rice Krispies I used fruity pebbles..,..WOWZA they taste delicious❣️💥✨✨🫶🏼 Now I'm waiting the 10 long mins till they harden😂❤❤❤❤
Great minds think alike! I’ve been making treats like this for years plus I usually add some butterscotch chips. Soccer snacks and college care packages!
I love your youtube videos! The blueberry muffins were a big hit with my family and we also loved the zucchini galette. These brown butter krispies are my favorite!!!! They are also the very first Smitten Kitchen recipe I tried. I add a little vanilla bean paste to gild the lily and some rainbow sprinkles on top!
Deb, you are such a natural in front of the camera, personally I think you should have your own TV show! So just an FYI, it seems you made a concerted effort not to mention the name brand cereal in this video, I'm guessing for legal/trademark issues? However, at the 4:00 minute mark I think you may have slipped up. Don't want you to get snap, crackled or popped from an attorney in Michigan!
Deb, you're evil!! All of your deserts are wonderful, and seeing you make them makes me want to make them and gobble them all up. My pants are so mad at you!!
Nice I have young lady who’s going to make this for me I have bought the ingredients we bought puffed marshmallows I ask do you ad salt she said no that the butter has salt so I added salt in the jar of marshmallows because I like sweet and salt I can’t wait until Tuesday it’s Friday
This is one of those days when I am do happy I do not have marshmallow nor crispy cereal in the house. What I DO have not s ingredients for your quick lemon bars
The serving size for me when I make these is the entire pan, I don't even cut them. I just plop down in front of a show or movie and pull out a handful at a time. I convince myself that by not getting a knife dirty I'm conserving water and saving the planet.
People always wonder why my krispies, cookies etc are a bit better.... I always use salted butter AND most of the salt in the recipe. The salt counteracts all the sweetness
