Kids and adults love these and they are fun to make with kids.

I've been making Brown Butter Rice Krispy Treats for some time now after I had accidentally browned the butter a few years back.

I've gone back and forth trying to decide if you all would totally think I was crazy for sharing my favorite little recipe with you but after much consideration I figured if you haven't accidentally browned your butter before you've been missing out on one of life's best kept secrets.

The brown butter adds a rich nutty taste to these little gems.

Just incase the brown butter wasn't enough I slathered the top with a little chocolate ganache just cause that's how I roll...

Here's how to make these deliciously all time BEST Rice Krispy Treats with brown butter:

Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large pot. Once butter starts to brown, stir to encourage even browning. Butter is ready once it's a caramel brown and nutty smelling.

Add 8 cups mini marshmallows and turn heat to low. Stir until marshmallows are melted using as little heat as possible.

Brown butter marshmallowy goodness.

Stir in 6 1/2 cups Rice Crispies until well combined.

Butter a 9"x 13" pan well. Butter a spoon and press Brown Butter Rice Krispy mixture evenly into the pan.

If you really would like to kick these Brown Butter Rice Krispies up another level you can 

In a small pan heat: 

• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 

Until warm. Remove from heat and add 1 cup chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate is smooth and melted.

Spread melted ganache evenly over rice crispy treats and place into freezer for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. 

Store covered at room temperature.

I think I need to go make another pan of Brown Butter Rice Krispy Treats since the first is already gone! This is an on going issue around our house, nothing ever lasts long.
