Marshmallow Crispy Bars

Marshmallow Crispy Bars

A classic summertime treat is upgraded with browned butter, vanilla, brown sugar and fine grey sea salt.

Ingredients

4 ounces butter
10.5 ounces marshmallows
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
6 ounces crispy cereal (I use Nature's Path whole grain brown rice cereal)
1/4 tsp. fine grey sea salt

Method

Butter an 8 x 8 inch pan.

In a large sauce pan, brown the butter over medium-low heat: After the butter melts, it will turn frothy, then golden in color, and then finally brown in color with a nutty smell.

Turn off the heat. Add the marshmallows, brown sugar and vanilla to the pan and stir until the ingredients are well combined and the marshmallows have melted.

Add the crispy cereal and sea salt and stir to combine.

Lightly press the mixture into the prepared pan; do not press so hard as to turn the bars into bricks! The goal is tall, chewy bars.

Let the bars cool. And then enjoy!
