Miso Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats are an easy and nostalgic sweet made with puffed rice cereal, melted butter and marshmallows. While the pre-packaged ones are sickly sweet, I give them an elegant upgrade with the addition of brown butter and miso paste for a balanced, sweet and salty flavor.

Instructions

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the butter and allow to melt.
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the butter turns deep golden brown and small brown bits form at the bottom of the pan, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Quickly add the marshmallows and stir constantly until melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste, sweetened condensed milk, miso paste and salt.
Add the puffed rice cereal and fold the mixture until the grains are coated evenly.
Spray a 9”x9” (23cm x 23cm) with cooking spray. Evenly press the mixture into the pan with a greased spatula.
Let cool completely to set, for about 1 hour, then cut into 2” squares and serve.
