Theses Brown Butter S’More Rice Krispies Treats are amazing. First, you start with browning butter. We’re all familiar with and aware of the magic of browning butter, right? Good. Then you make rice krispies like ya do except you’ll add some crushed up graham crackers too, and you put half of that into the pan and top it with chocolate.

Then comes the fun part: the marshmallows. To get that true s’mores flavor, I wanted to toast/burn my marshmallow layer. I did this using the flame on my gas stove, and had a marshmallow roasting party by myself. Good times.

Now, if you don’t have a gas stove or are concerned about the safety risk of roasting marshmallows inside your house, you could also use a creme brûlée torch to lightly toast them or I’m thinking you could put them under the broiler for a minute or two to get them golden brown. Or you can not toast them. I personally love them burnt. To each his own. To finish it all off, you top the marshmallows with the remainder of the rice krispie/graham cracker mixture. Then you cut into squares and enjoy all of the glorious s’mores/brown butter/rice krispie goodness! So good.
