Salted & Spiced Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats

1. 1

   Spray an 8-inch square pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over low heat. Keep a close eye on the butter, stirring constantly, until it turns a light caramel color and begins to smell nutty. Do not let the butter burn. Add the marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows melt & the mixture is smooth.

3. 3

   Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the salt & pinch of cayenne pepper, followed by the Rice Krispies. If your pot isn't very big, I find that adding the cereal in two batches helps you not make as much of a mess on the floor!

4. 4

   Quickly turn the mixture into prepared pan and press into edges and corners using a piece of waxed paper.

5. 5

   Let cool, cut into squares and enjoy!
