Better-than-the-Box Rice Krispies Treats

Timbo2000

I like to cook, especially with beer (in me). If a recipe is not easy, I'm not interested.

Rice Krispies Treats, when prepared according to the recipe on the box, are pretty close to perfection. For many years I saw no need to change them, but simplicity has its own way of inviting change, so I started tweaking the recipe, adding ingredients and changing some of the techniques to make a Rice Krispies Treat that’s better than any I’ve ever eaten. That’s the recipe I’m sharing here.

6 cups toasted rice crisp cereal, such as Rice Krispies

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

1 (10-ounce) package mini marshmallows (about 4 cups)

subheading: EQUIPMENT:

8x8-inch baking pan

Large nonstick skillet

Large saucepan or pot

Rubber spatula
