“It’s really the little things. Honestly. They count so much.” (June, in the movie “Knight and Day”, talking about how Roy made her an omelet and got her home safe and back to her sister’s wedding on time) She was right! It is the little things…like browning the butter, or that touch of salt, or the vanilla…they count so much! Unbelievably flavorful!!
½ c butter
16 oz. fresh mini marshmallows
1 t vanilla
pinch kosher salt
9 c Rice Krispies cereal
Butter 9 x 13 pan. (If you like them extra thick, use 8 x 11 pan.)
Set aside. In large pan melt butter over low heat. Continue cooking and
stirring an additional 5-8 minutes until golden, fragrant, and bubbly.
Add marshmallows and stir until barely melted. Remove from heat and stir
in vanilla and salt. Stir in cereal and pour into buttered pan. Barely
smooth with back of spoon or spatula so treats stay thick and soft. Let
cool and cut into squares. Cover remaining treats with tin foil or
plastic wrap.
