Brown butter salted Carmel Krispy Treats

Well after having my wisdom teeth pulled out this week there was nothing I could eat besides pudding and soup so I obviously wanted a lot more this weekend. So I decided that what was better then rice crispy treats… Brown butter salted caramel rice crispy treats of course!!!! So please enjoy these fantastic treats and share with your family if you have to of course. Eat on… And enjoy!

2 sticks of butter
1 vanilla bean, the seeds scraped
2 (10 ounce) bags mini marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 1/2 cups rice krispies
1cup of salted  Carmel, either store bought or homemade. Recipe below.  

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Grease two 9x13 inch pans.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot add the butter and vanilla bean seeds, melt butter over medium heat until just browned. Butter will melt, foam, and froth, then begin to brown along the bottom. Whisk browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Just as the butter begins to brown, add the marshmallows and turn off the heat. Stir the marshmallows around until completely melted. 
  3. Add in salted Carmel. If the marshmallows are not fully melting turn the heat back on to low and stir until smooth and melted.
  4. Add Rice Krispies and coat them completely in marshmallows.
  5. Divide among the pans.
  6. Set aside and let cool and firm!!
  7. Enjoy of course!!

Salted Carmel

1/2 cup sugar

3 tablespoons salted butter, cubed

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoons heavy cream, at room temperature

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook just the sugar. Whisk it occasionally as it melts and cook it until it turns a deep amber color. Then add the butter and stir until it is melted. Add the heavy cream and whisk until the caramel is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
