Ingredients
Yield: 16 servings
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt*
- 5 cups Rice Krispies
Method
Prep the broiler and marshmallows. Set the broiler to a hot burner and place the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating elements. Lay out the marshmallows on a sheet pan in a single even layer, so that no marshmallows are overlapping. Keep nearby until ready to use.
Brown the butter. Warm the butter in a large stockpot over medium a hot burner until it has melted and begins to foam, stirring frequently to ensure that the butter cooks evenly. Keep a close eye on the butter as it continues to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter starts to turn golden brown and smells toasty. Once the butter reaches this stage, immediately remove the pan from the heat and pour the butter into a heatproof dish momentarily, so that the cooking process will be halted. Set asi
"Toast" the marshmallows. Once the butter is ready to go, place the pan of marshmallows in the oven and broil for 30 to 60 seconds, until the marshmallows are puffy and deeply golden on top. (They cook quickly, so keep a very close eye on them!) Remove the pan from the oven.
Whisk everything together. Moving quickly throughout this step, pour the browned butter back into the stockpot, along with the bourbon and salt, and briefly stir to combine. Immediately move the toasted marshmallows to the stockpot (the cook find it's easiest to do this with a large spatula) and briefly stir to combine. Tip in in the Rice Krispies and stir until they are more or less evenly coated. It's ok if there are some marshmallow clumps in there.
Press into the baking dish. Move the mixture to a parchment-lined (or greased) 9 x 9-inch baking dish, and gently press the mixture down into an even layer. Let the rice crispy treats cool until they reach room temperature.
Plate Then slice, serve and enjoy!
