Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 (10 oz) bag miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • ΒΌ tsp fine sea salt
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Keep cooking, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden with brown flecks and smells nutty, 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add the marshmallows, and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat as soon as no white streaks remain.
  3. Fold in the cereal gently until evenly coated.
  4. Press the mixture into a buttered 8x8 inch pan in an even layer. Let cool at least 30 minutes, then slice. Top with flaky salt just before serving if desired.

Notes

Let the bars cool completely before slicing. If you need them to set faster, pop the pan in the fridge for 15 minutes. The flaky salt is best added right before serving, not mixed in, so it stays crunchy.
