Brown Butter Rice Crispy Treats

Despite the hectic holiday rush, I had some time to do some baking. I was looking for a recipe to try when my son suggested I make some rice crispy treats. I thought it was a good idea since I have never made rice crispy treats before. I love simple recipes and making rice crispy treats was just that. The recipe I found was a bit different because it uses brown butter. Butter is first melted and browned for a few minutes. Then, marshmallows are added and the rice cereal after. The most tedious part was melting the butter and making sure it is golden brown before adding and melting the marshmallows. It was pretty simple after that. I think that these brown butter rice crispy treats are simple and delicious and are perfect to bring to any get together or party. Enjoy!
