Salted Toffee & Brown Butter Crispy Treats
- 4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus extra for the pan
- 1 10-ounce bag marshmallows
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (level, not heaping)
- 6 cups puffed rice cereal (about half a 12-ounce box)
- 2/3 cup English toffee bits (can substitute very finely chopped English toffee bars)
- Butter (or coat with non-stick spray) an 8-inch square pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the cereal, sea salt and toffee bits. Toss to mix well.
- In a large pot over medium heat (one big enough to hold six cups of cereal), cook the butter until it turns brown and smells nutty, about 4 to 6 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently, scraping up any bits from the bottom.
- When the butter is browned, turn the heat as low as it will go and stir in the marshmallows. Stir until they've thoroughly melted and are smooth; you shouldn't see any marshmallow shapes at this point.
- Remove the pot from the stove. Add the cereal-salt-toffee to the marshmallows, mixing quickly until evenly incorporated. (A strong, silicon spatula works well.) Spread into prepared pan, pressing firmly and evenly. A piece of waxed paper sprayed with oil works well for pressing and spreading the cereal into the corners and edges.
- Let cool and cut into squares. Share them right away, lest risk eating the whole pan by yourself.
